She caught my eye
No surprise
While riding
On the city bus.
She cracked a smile
Didn't know just how
But I had to trust
That maybe
Way before
That time before
We could
Control lust
There was something more
There to explore
A sword
One more thrust.
-
I said:
"Hey...can I tell you something?
I really like your face."
And I could feel her aura
Spiking
Energy hiking
All over the place.
She said:
"I like yours too."
Before I could think,
I asked her to dinner
I threw up my hands
I had to backpedal.
No way she was single
No, I'm not a beginner.
-
I said:
"Pardon my haste,
You could be already spoken for.
My apologies.
Drama is not a thing
That I implore."
Then she said
With just her eyes:
"It's best we didn't meet.
Even better
That we just pretend
We didn't even speak..."
-
And I could tell from her demeanor
That she was being abused...
And at the least, he was verbally beating
Her daily...
She feared that she was being used...
-
And I could relate...
I told her:
"Life is too short,
Don't let someone's love be a cage."
I got off the bus.
I pray for her fate.
I wish that
I could take all that
Away...
-
I know how it feels
To be stuck in a relationship
That you think you can't leave...
But I'm an example
Of someone who did it
It just takes the courage
And the space to breathe.
-
She wouldn't take my number,
And that's okay.
I hope she is safe as she moves on her way.
I hope that I see her again,
And that we can be friends,
Maybe it could blossom someday.
