The Girl at the Table
Don’t let your tears extinguish your brave hair,
It’s unknown to me, the problem, it’s just a minor thing.
Because your waterworks are helpful to the soul,
Spring fountain flourishing in a black painstriken night,
She’s quivering at that table, clenching to its edge,
Close to the edge herself, rigged of pity and isolation,
Your a fighter in that feisty lip,
Take a chance and ignore it all, 5 seconds.
There she leaves, banished by a melancholy feeling
That reeked the embers in your beautiful hair,
Your eyes still and will always reflect that fiery hope,
I don’t know you, but I don’t need to, just know this,
Find your place, and be free forever.
