I sit in anticipation

Eyes ready to enjoy the feast

Seems like its been forever

Nows the time to feed the beast

One that has cowered in the shadows

Quietly, hidden out of sight

Unable to divulge the details

Of a tragic loveless plight

A maiden lovely, young and wanted

By many men, both near and far

Yet, the one she spends her dreams on

Treats her as a distant star

One nobody seems to notice

Even though it twinkles high

A beauty in amongst the beauties

He’ll not notice until shes nigh
