Her dress whispered across the floor
As she danced around
Sending off looks in a humans eye
His gaze screams 'I want to talk to you'
She giggles and whispers
'One day maybe'
She dips to the floor in a pretzel
Curtsy
And he let out a sigh
He realizes that his dreams
Are becoming reality and feels
Fear washing over his entire body
Her sudden perfume could
Easily paralyze his fragile body
Like a mirror he crashed
To the floor in a million pieces
Sweeping them with her dress as she goes
He slowly gathers up his
Broken soul reflecting her beauty
From below a shadowy
Silhouette screams
Dark beauty
