a girl in pursuit of books
yes, indeed a bit shy,
but, god, does she have the looks
to make all the boys cry
a chatterbox once you get to know her,
pulling words from the air
never thought she'd be able to stir
feelings i never thought were there
she made me sad, too
i wept for her mind, body, and soul
she never had a clue
of the heart that she stole
what once was mine
is now hers for the keeping
drowning myself in wine
i'm having trouble sleeping
