Bittersweet Song

A song I wrote ages ago, recently revamped.

She had him
Under her spell again.
She looked so
Beautiful tonight.

He approached and
Reached out for her hand.
She looked up and
Then just walked away.

Will she ever stay?

And all around him
The flowers sing
Their bittersweet song.
And as she fades
He wonders why
She never stays.

Her hands shake.
Her heart is beating fast.
Fear keeps her
From her desires.

If only she could
Break from this pattern
She'd hold him and
Never let go.

Will she ever stay?

And all around her
The flowers sing
Their bittersweet song.
She looks up and
Promises the stars
She'll find a way to stay.

Tonight we play
The same old game.
I hope that we're
Nearing the end.

We stare at one moon
And ask the same question.
Is there hope in
This hopelessness
Tonight?

And all around us
The flowers answer
Yes
