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.
