That severe expression on his face
Would it ever be moved?
A hidden darkness had left a trace
And there’s a heart none would dare intrude
She then walked into his life
A pure, untainted, direct creature
The attraction he felt, he couldn’t deny
She was no beauty, was plain and obscure
An invisible coldness surrounded her
A painful past kept so well inside
Yet there was something about her
Something extremely sincere he yearned to find
She had manners, all too polite
The formality was rather unsettling
And so for her heart, he decided to try
Her soul, he found charming
In his eyes, she wasn’t merely a paid subordinate
She was an equal
She wasn’t a machine without feelings
And that despite her distant disposition
He wanted to seek her
A friendship thus bloomed
Stronger feelings soon emerged
Was their love even possible?
A secret shadowed what was to be
And made their union impossible
She had to leave
Though the passion inside never died
And long enough did he live
For her to see him
And be with him finally
And their souls were linked again.
