Her hair a raven's crown surrounds
Her eyes a blinding blue
Her mouth a silent protest
What proposal might ensue

Her soul ablaze she lights the night
In colors never seen
She reads her lines but let's me hear
The story in between

Her voice is raised in turmoil
Her words are all but spat
She all but says she loves me
And leaves me still intact

She burdens o'er the welfare
All life that's gone astray
She shakes me up. She shakes me down
She takes my breath away
