he sees her.

as her face smiles but her heart aloads the burden of life.
he watches her hope dim to silent tears.
and she begins to circle the checkered floor
as the moonlight gazes in from a near bay window.
and beneath her tears, he sees her heart alive
dancing to the rythyms of his heart beat.
he sees her


but she does not see him.
he hides behind his fear of her knowing.
each moment as she passes him by with every turn she makes
his heart poses a challenge to step out and take her hand.
to take her into his arms.
but the fear of rejection is too grave...
so, he sees her

as she ballets the infinity of the hall.
her heart grows heavier... so, she prances in more persuasion.
persuading herself she can be rid of all of her fears
by swaying alive through a hallway.
and he sees her

hiding behind all of her streams of tears
cascades an overflow of brokeness.
her eyes tell a story of pain
but he watches with a hope of resolving her heart.
and he sees her

as she twirls and turns, she falls onto the floor.
as she weeps ever so hard,
he runs, forgetting all of his fear...
to her rescue.

aiding her from the fall
he firms her in his arms.
he brushes back her hair from her face
wiping a tear from her cheek
she looks up in surrender
so vulnerable. she has been caught.

and into his eyes she sees
the man of her rescue.
but now, she sees him.

yet, all is well...
because he sees her.
