1 The tale follows a lady
That nobody knows
Her past scarily shady
Though clear where she goes
2 She hides away from her woe
spectacularly
She puts on the earth's best show
Does so, Merrily
3 The girl however was lost
In a secret place
Knew not claustrophobic cost
Of such a small space
4 Everyone came to the show
Though nobody knew
It was such a happy glow
covering the stew
5 Some did know her location
Though not where she was
Only the dream vacation
She showed all of us
6 No one in and no one out
Twas the rule of the heart
And her compliance was stout
Then came a new part
7 For came a man from Know Where
A place in the mind
Where all can be seen from there,
And so he did find
8 The girl in the hidden realm
place of rejection
And she became over whelmed
At his affection
9 Love felt almost dutiful
This broken-heart dame
Struck him as more beautiful
Than a girl of fame
10 She curiously approached
This man's view's new way
Those around her really coached
She should stay away
11 Small embodiments of fear
The heart's advisers
Small people who were heard clear
Like abrupt geysers
12 They whispered to her to run
In the end she did
"Don't stop til you reach the sun"
Though here's what he did
13 He waited in his new place
Where he had been cast
The very same hurtful space
That was the girl's past
14 Although no show was conceived
No mask of his pain
All saw his world and believed
He had all to gain
15 Ride after ride tried to help
Help him to escape
He remained rooted like kelp
Buried up to his neck's nape
16 Time passed but he did stay
For her grand return
It did pay off; for one day
Luck came to his turn
17 She was back and the sun shined
He then turned and said
"I saw from Know Where; my mind
Thoughts of me weren't dead"
18 "I know you were in a place
Where you wanted me
Though you feared the scary chase
To become happy"
19 But soon the dark days crept near
They arrived at dawn
He realized she wasn't here
she had left and gone
20 This was the last they would see
They both became blind
She went back to her prison
He: back to his mind
21 Then he lost civility
He became enraged
He lost his ability
And nothing had changed
22 Now he had nothing to show
For his love and wait
Now he didn't even know
Where was his soul mate
23 He could not access Know Where
He was lost like her
He tried so hard not to care;
That's not how things were
24 All the time; the girl knew this
She was in Know Where
She knew the truth but choose bliss
Deep down she did care
25 She tried to convince her heart
He was a bad man
Missing him would never start
From the truth she ran
26 She left him in suffering
In brutal, long pain
And now she is buffering
the dents from the rain
27 Life is short, she did not act
She left it alone
And she mended her heart's pact
To go it alone
28 She abused Know Where in vein
She found not new joy
She found not one single grain
She uses decoys
29 The story is now ended
They both learned to cope
All they've done is pretended
They don't wish for hope
30 Know Where sees the here and now
Can't see future's sight
Both secretly wish somehow
They will reunite
31 So comes a time in one's life
Where they're in Know Where
They cut through shows like a knife
They see, and they care
32 They shall see someone's true whole
Like nobody's seen
They'll see their entire soul
And what their worth means
33 Neither man nor girl did win
They just hide their love
Will they ever speak again....
...Does push come to shove?
