Drawn

   
      
the sad in you drew me      
into you      
dear one      
not the laughter      
or refined bits      
the  melancholy      
song that clouds      
your lovely form      
your movements      
are precisely      
timed      
to keep it down      
the wounded nature      
in your smile      
the careful words you speak      
the cautious way your head      
tilts so your eyes      
can look around     
the way you brace      
yourself      
for the impact of a gist      
oh you can fool the fools      
but never me      
because I see the splendor      
in your plight      
the fear the flight      
the bravery      
your tragedy      
in it’s rarest hour      
is magnificent to me      
     
I could watch you      
move the pieces      
on your board around      
all day every night      
if you would only      
take a chance      
I could sooth it      
just a bit      
I’m in love      
with you      
you see
