Wild Girl

Starless sky

I don't know where it is you've been hiding

but I need you tonight

Once upon a time there was a wild girl.

She ran through her forest everyday.

but one day something was missing.

Everywhere she looked romance blossomed.

The forest had the animals.

The dirt had the grass.

The sky had the clouds.

The birds had the trees.

The moon had the stars.

The fish had the water.

And the sun had the earth.

Her friends were very content with their own lovers.

.....but where was hers?

Her heart was enormous and all her life, love is what she longed for.  

She never knew what it was like to be loved by a real man.

The only love she ever knew of wasn't real. 

It was the kind of "love" only boys give.

They used her.

Played her.

and worst of all....some even took advantage of her.

She was sure that her luck wouldn't get any better.

On a rainy day in autumn she met a creature of her own kind.

He made her heart flutter.

He kept her warm.

He filled her heart with loving words.

The girl was over the moon but became frightened.

Was this real?

What did she mean to him?

Did he truly like her or did he tell those magic words to 5 other women?

Most of all the thought she pondered the most was...

Was he scared?

Scared of losing her?

Would he be sad to see her go if she went away one day?

The wild girl had yet to find out.

She was fairly confident this was all wonderfully raw and real.

He said what he meant and he meant what he said.  

She decided to take caution and keep walking.

She decided to let the journey begin..

Maybe she finally found herself a real man.

A man to go wild with.

Very good song and amazing poetry. I enjoyed the journey. Struggle led to the possibility of a good ending.
Thank you for sharing the excellent poetry.

So the only way to know is to test...? Thats a risky strategy and yet its probably the only sound strategy. If he is the one for her he will follow and if not, then he will not. 'Faint heart never won fair lady' - these days he'd probably get locked up for stalking.
I liked the eloquent fairytale nature of this one and the imagery is beautiful. Well penned.
