A Stranger on Lonely Street

I was walking on down Lonely Street

Thinking how life is so bittersweet

When I met a stranger so bold

He looked at me, eyes so cold

Before I could turn the other way

He grabbed my hand and had this to say

 

Chorus:

"Darlin', things may seem rough now

But it's all gonna work out somehow

You're a diamond in the rough

Stand your ground when things are tough

You're charming and you're beautiful

You can make this world so wonderful

The gleam in your eyes light the world

Show them the spark in you, girl"

 

I said I fought fire with fire and got burned

I started doubting everything I've learned

I'm no one special, I'm just someone invisible

What I want to be is super and invincible

He blinked and puts his hand on my cheek

He said I am special and I'm not weak

 

Chorus

 

He smiled at me and wiped away my tears

He embraced me and drove away my fears

Before I could blink, he was gone with the wind

Thought I heard a whisper of "Darlin'" and grinned

With that grin on my face, I went on my way
I've never seen that stranger again to this day

 

Chorus

 

I was walking on down Lonely Street

Thinking how life is so bittersweet

When I met a stranger so bold

He looked at me, eyes so cold...

I know, there's no specific beat. Yes, I get that it sucks.

THIS IS FANTASTIC! :) One of my favorite works by you! It has raw emotion and is packed with metaphors and amazing word choice. The rhymes and slant rhymes really fall into place here, and the whole thing flows wonderfully. Amazing job! :D
