I see her
smile as she looks my way
her deadly
silence does display,
My heart
knows she must be the one
laughing
with cynicism within her tongue
With
Crimson Satin upon her breast
clings to
her body’s frame as if a test,
Draping soft
curves along her trim waist
longs to
depart without lingering haste
She moves
across the room glancing his way
then looks
away as if her lips would say,
‘You wait
your turn’ I’m not ready yet
I’ll
whisper your name with Ruby lips wet
I look to
see how he reacts to her glance
seems uncomfortable;
wish he had a chance,
Taking my
drink I move to his side
trying to
tell him my love I can not hide
Aware of me
his eyes let me know
then they
move away so very slow,
Eyes that
drift to a Crimson Satin doll
his longing
eyes slide across the dance hall
I knew his
love has drifted away
for the
bond we had he can not display,
Loving arms
that once held me tight
now drift
away during day’s sunlight
One has
captured his heart from me
she must be
the one who has stolen I see,
Ruby lips and
she is dressed to kill
my heart
cries like the Whippoorwill
Songs of
love he sang into the night
love songs now
gone as he takes his flight,
My heart is
broken for she must be the one
I have
known the truth, now I heard it sung -
in his song
of goodbye
- Rhoda Galgiani
