Elegant Grace

The time is takes is the answer for the unknown
The time that's given, is a gift upon a precious hold
--------------

She glides like a ballerina
She smiles like the sun
She runs away from everyone
To a stage where all comes undone

She's aggressive and compassionate
She's a spit-fire with an elegant grace
She panics with anxiety for she know not of his* pace 

She sits perched in her seat, she doesn't miss a beat
She is posed and has that* sparkle
There is nothing common about her she's soft and remarkable

She notices a man
White skin and blue eyes
His presence gave her a rush of butterflies

His smile could save her
She had a thought of love
With an intense force of romance just by a small rub
of his shoulder
His flawless fingertips upon her arm
she knew he had such a genuine charm

But he didn't know her past
Her dark saddening repression of a time that was her childhood
She would hope and pray he understood
The anger and rage that build inside her
Could unleash like a dragon
And cause such havoc

scared to open her heart
she did and it all fell apart
Her past came to haunt her
And she tried to keep control
The lights, the sirens, the yelling, the crying..
She felt like she was dying

Persistent and determined
she would promise him it would all be okay
She'd find a way and pray and pray

She Lifted her head up
And saw the man smile
She snapped out of it and stared at him for a long while
He gave her hope of a good life
Not of strife and police department nights

That smile which saved her
Is her savior

She's on a mission to make that man the happiest he could be
Sunshine and palm trees
Kisses and honesty
hand in hand, she knows they can be
Forever sealed with truth and love
