A girl I know

A girl I know showed me the sky

Then she showed me the sea

A girl I know showed me the door

And now there’s only me

 

A girl I know gave me the world

Then she took it away

A girl I know fed me a meal

And said I couldn’t stay

 

A girl I know pushed me farther

Than I ever had been

A girl I know offered her hand

And said I was her friend

 

A girl I know kissed me twice

She said once wasn’t enough

A girl I know said to be quiet

Not to talk of this stuff

 

A girl I know hid herself away

When I needed her most

A girl I know came back around

And held me oh so close

 

A girl I know dropped her tears

As she turned to leave

A girl I know spun on her heel

In silence watched her leave

 

A girl I know say come here now

Then she pushed me away

A girl I know carries my heart

Wherever she is today

 

A girl I know knows me better

Than I know myself

A girl I know laughs and she smiles

And puts my love on the shelf

 

A girl I know causes panic

If the phone rings or when it don’t

A girl I know would recognize herself

Inside this silly note

 

A girl I know could still the wind

With a simple flash of her eyes

A girl I know stays far away

And part of me dies

 

A girl I know took refuge in me

Until she felt quite well

She’s left me now

I sit alone

There’s nothing more to tell

Lovely write , ah the fickle people!

[S]

This piece really tells a story! It takes you on such a gentle journey then leaves you with a tragic conclusion. A good read.

And to you fair lady what else could stir the muse!

[Liderien]

I like it!
damn the women! all of them be damned,
fickle and contrite, sweet and deceiving.
Both sexes are cursed with love and contempt.

Thank you sir. Frankly I wrote it after being inspired by your most recent write.

Absolutely brilliant. Recognise so much in this piece. Truly eloquent tale, wonderfully spun from start to finish. Great job on this.
