Two Strings

Two strings around their soul.
Like magnets with a single goal.

Hers old and broken.
Tired and destroyed.
His fresh and new.
Hired and employed.

The girl is foolish.
She thinks with her heart.
Too many lovers
Have torn her apart.

The boy sees her mistakes.
He stands up to attend.
To her problems and failures,
He's the perfect friend.

And that's how it starts,
How the strings are tied.
When the girl realizes,
He'll never leave her side.

When he makes subtle hints.
When they talk all night long.
When he comforts her tears.
When he plays her a song.

When she can't differ the beauty,
between a pigeon or a dove.
That's how she can tell,
She's knee deep in love.
