• Crash oh pitiful heart.
    I watch you laugh at my brave-less art.
    Laugh no more I will try my best not to swoon.
    If she resents me I know I've still stayed true.

    Her grace pierces through me like a benevolent wind.
    If I were to displease her it would be mortal sin.
    She enters the room and begins to sing.
    Like radiance through my ears it continues to ring.

    I am awkward and very shy.
    She probably didn't notice me as I walked by.
    I stay silent and chose to sit at a windows' seat.
    To my surprise she chose to sit next to me.

    So we talked and conversed about the daily worry.
    When the bell rang she got up and left my heart in a hurry.
    I rushed after her.
    When she saw me her lips uttered some nameless murmur.

    I forgot my place so i decided to ask.
    If she would go with me to the dance.
    She laughed and laughed until she said a steadfast no.
    She said "I would never don't you know".

    All at once I could hear the trees mocking me with their swinging.
    Such a horrible parody of laughter it kept on ringing.
    On the back of my mind it told me to walk away.
    But somehow my feet refused to sway.

    Till it hit me how different we were.
    How different I was compared to her.
    Before I thought she was some rare pearl in the sea.
    But she gave me one look and needn't look no more for I knew she thought there was nothing special to me.

    I may not be brave or even that strong.
    Keep going through the fool's way of getting along.
    I may not have any major talent or gift in any art.
    But i can until then I will continue with my shy heart.
