Surprising Love

Great big eyes
stare at you so close
it's no surprise
that you she needs most

her great long hair
braided with stories
her sad slow stride
contradict her hurries

she's lonley for you
she's hungry for a kiss
no way it's too unreal
yet the reality she can't miss

her sad, cold feet
cuddle in herself
her prickly thoughts
make her vision melt

no one can ever know
how she sleeps all alone
no one can ever see
how you is all she needs

not even yourself
though you try
but one day you'll wake up
and you'll be surprised
