A man in search for love
I have arrived to you crestfallen
I have nothing to offer
But my bare hands
Sorry mister, for who are you may I ask
I am a but a simple man who saw you from afar
A couple of weeks ago your hair golden, like cinnamon buns
As I watched you from the bar
I hope I am no burden too you
I have travelled many lands
And finally found you again
I am not a man of gold nor riches
I bring but a smile and warm embrace
I am a man looking for love
Been searching to long
Now I bear a knackered face
She whispered
You are man of great zeal
You must be dead on your feet
Come in for a nice meal
Take time to recuperate
It’s bitterly cold, you just have a chill
The man smiled
You can stay the night, just one though
The man smile turned into a frown
Aren’t I your king my queen
Or is it because I don’t bear a crown
But this old, worn newsboy cap
Or because I don’t wear gold
But a rusty, tattered pocket watch
A single finger rested on his lips
Shhh, say no more, for it is neither
For I have a husband, he will not long be gone
His face was woeful
I have been a burden, I must be gone
No you are but a man seeking a woman’s love
Which led you here to me
However, you must seek further
For I am not her
The man left suddenly
Disappeared into the moonlit forest
She never saw him again
Although years gone by, she wondered
If he will ever come back
