When She Sat Near 

His senses awakened as she sat down, 
The light entangled on her golden crown, 
In her sparkling sapphires, he let himself drown 
When she smiled, when she was near. 

Lost for words with a world to say, 
As he felt all other thoughts slip away, 
Only one filled his mind that glorious day, 
The day that she was here. 

 His fingers twitched to touch the face, 
Of the vision beside him, shrouded in lace, 
And how his heart began to race, 
When she whispered in his ear: 

What she said, we will never know, 
But to his cheeks it brought a rosy glow, 
She swung her leg to and fro, 
As he finished off his beer. 

Hand in hand, they walked through the door, 
And I was left staring at the floor, 
Because I knew in my heart, I’d see him no more, 
I knew there was something queer. 

I’ve seen her around, once or twice, 
How can something so evil, look so nice? 
And for my friend, who paid the price, 
I shed a gentle tear.
