Beauty like a vacuum

Sucks the breath out of me

I can't look at her

She's too bright to see

Tangled dark on her head

It's a sweet abyss

I'm captured forever by her

Brilliant, radiant bliss

Beauty like a dagger

Piercing my skin

Etched in the flesh of my heart

A tattoo of my sin

I can barely see her

She's a flashing star

I'm caught in her gravity

Destined to circle her from afar

Beauty like a parade

Dazzling pageantry

I can't take her all in

She's too much for me

I'm a lonely watcher

Waving as she passes by

Then the parade is gone,

And I'm left alone

Without a chance to say goodbye
