I see you waiting
Watch you standing
Frail as solid steel
Gentle as hurricane winds
Harlequin eyes laughingly sparkle
Razor wit at every turn
I brave a closer step
You flash a promising smile
Freezing my fluttering heart.
I continue with a sharp breath
Doe steps on the pavement
Once more into the depths
Trying to find your true self
But you ghost and fade
Leaving me to face a joyless void
An empty lonely being
I walk on.
