Welcome to My life in the shadows
AT THE MOVIES
Her=There is no escape,
Houses are against the rules.
She=It is night time, she is on her knees by the edge of the long grass
Playing a game.
He= He comes back from the forest and walks up on her.
Him=Are you alright?
Her=I heard my parents speaking of you.
I know of your request.
I think it is noble,
But I do not think it is right.
Him=Are you not the woman who is blind?
Her=I see the world [just fine]
But not as you see it.
Kitty is getting married.
She has found love again
And you think it is a hard choice.
Sir William will not sit back in his chair
For fear of putting wrinkles in his shirt,
But he does have
A gentlemen’s way about him.
Do you not care about my sister?
I think she is blessed
And I am blessed as well
For my sister is now spoken for
And I am not afraid
To receive interest from anyone.
Do you have interest in a blind woman?
He= Looks deeply into her eyes.
She= Hold her hand out.
