Alone
The chime and clatter
Pass her by in a daze
She's in her own little world
A safety bubble
She smiles, a little distant
You can see the beauty beneath the rubble

Her eyes cold and indifferent
She ain't shy just withdrawn
You smile and she frowns
You can see she's not here
In her world a crown of jewel
All alone and content

Pen and paper in hand
She jotts her feelings down
She smiles and your world stops
She's a beauty to behold
Near yet so far away
All but in a crowded room
