Closed Eyes Melody

Closed Eyes Melody
She's walking
Down the grubby street
A lovely smile on her lips
Her eyes seem to be closed
as she drifts to her secret melody
~
The garbage of the city
are her stepping stones
The broken curbs her throne
She's a queen who's lost her castle
The alleys her new home
~
A paper robe
Covers her slender shoulders
She dances unknowing
That she's ravaged by her plight
Perhaps it is our knowing
That misses her delight
