A Dark-Eyed City Girl

A dark-eyed city girl, with secrets untold
She is a riddle, a puzzle, a mystery
In the flickering lights of the streets
In the heart of the city, she finds her stronghold


She moves through her city with grace and poise
Her footsteps whisper on pavement and road
In the maze of streets her shadow dances
She is a silhouette framed by urban noise


But inside her is a desire, a sigh
That seeks freedom from the shadows of the streets
To break free, find her wings and fly
To a world outside of where the city lights lie


The dark-eyed city girl is in an eternal dance
She wanders, she dreams, she looks to then stars
Wondering will her heart ever fly
As she cries and roams trapped in the city’s expanse.
