Dances with Simone
A delicate flower so young in a worn out place
Heart of gold and kindness I called her friend
She talked about her daughter so full of grace
I was wondering were her struggles to end
From the pages of history, her people's strife
To live and prosper, welcomed as a dying friend
Their lands and culture, a never-ending life
Without your love Can you see me inside dying
All it takes maybe Just one kiss
Simone talk to me I can hear you crying
I love you helped me through this lonely abyss
I see her pain, like the earth beneath her feet
Torn apart by the weight of colonization's deceit
Showed her my secret puts everyone in danger
Unhappy circumstances challenges and fear
Was she in love or was I just a stranger
It was a long time ago threat was not near
Without your love Can you see me inside dying
All it takes maybe Just one kiss
Simone talk to me I can hear you crying
I love you helped me through this lonely abyss
I had to tell her but was she in love with me
Two shipwrecks within a stormy night
Her secrets rattled me but her light I did see
Why did she hang up on me I was all a fright
In her eyes, I saw the echoes of a stolen past
The burden of a people, their histories to outlast
Without your love Can you see me inside dying
All it takes maybe Just one kiss
Simone talk to me I can hear you crying
I love you helped me through this lonely abyss
For your love, I will wait until the end of time
Never to disturb your daughter's chances
Too much she has seen everyone else's grime
I hope one day like you she dances
Together we'll rise above the chains that bind
And find solace in the love that we've designed
Without your love Can you see me inside dying
All it takes maybe Just one kiss
Simone talk to me I can hear you crying
I love you helped me through this lonely abyss
About this poem
She is a shy woman very beautiful and friendly and all it took was one friendly smile from her and this made my day easier. I lost her friendship revealing my past and I suppose too much on her plate she hung up on me. She did say tomorrow there is always another chance but is my past too ugly for our friendship.
