classic silent film

you want her to love you 
you sure hope she does 
but she’s ambiguous about it 
and you are left with crumbs

you follow the bread trail 
and hope it leads to her heart 
but she’s tucked it away for someone
that’s held it from the start 

unfortunately he is oblivious 
to how her eyes linger on him 
because he looks to someone else
who just won’t let him in 

and so it seems to go 
round and round and round 
it’s as much a comedy as tragedy 
in this classic movie without sound
