The Librarian

He started to woo her in a most peculiar way The Librarian's dress was a fawnish shade of grey The books he was to borrow he would surely never read They had an intellectual calibre He hoped that she would see He planned to take her home to bed some day He'd smooth her goosebumped skin whilst she lay But the unspoken thing they both knew Whilst he'd dream of her often She would forget in just ten minutes Her beauty has not truly been seen Until her beauty's been seen by his tired eyes Her tears have not truly been dried Until her tears have been dried on his tattered shirt sleeves He was beginning to irritate so she made him go away The smallest cruellest insults she ignored his subtle ways The deftly silence let him know his efforts were in vain Did the words ever exist and if so could he find them Her body has not truly been stripped Until her clothes have been ripped by his nail bitten fingers Utill her beauty's been seen by his tired eyes And oh, oh the loneliest of nights He will never hold her tight He will never kiss her eyelids
