Crazy Eye

She was the kindest one.
A gentle soul ever blind.
She made her way
to that distant shore
with him in mind
hoping the fire to restore.
She traveled on without a doubt
leaving her old life behind.
Waters wash the bow.
Troubles crease her brow
as thoughts flow by.
"Is he waiting?"
"Does he care?"
Will he be there for me?"
The time has come
for her to run.
Run from the ice
the ice on her heart.
Falling into flames
let them feast on life.
The ship finally docks.
No more time for ticking clocks.
She sees him there
the wind blowing through his beautiful hair.
She starts her run down the plank
keeping her gaze at his heart.
He looks right past her.
Past her shoulder to stare.
A rush of bodies coming fast
holding court to the blessed lass.
He looks right through her smile
and runs to his deep desire.
So here she is a wonderful girl
lost in her sheltered world.
A new life has ended.
A new life has begun.
A life with a crazy eye.
