Hello Charlotte-a song. or poem.

Okay, so I'm not a musician. i played piano when i was little, and i DO own a guitar, but i have yet to learn anything. i do, however, enjoy writing songs. or poems, if you prefer, since i usually forget the tune after i write the first line or two. anyways, i couldn't think of anything to write about, and this song has been my project sort-of thing this week, so i figured, why not? It's about a few things, none of which i feel like talking a whole lot about, but i will say that its about a friend of mine. Obviously her name isn't Charlotte, otherwise i wouldn't be putting it on the Internet. (god forbid she should find out its about her!) Charlotte is my favorite name in the whole world, cause i think its really poetic. so, here ya go!

Hello Charlotte

hello, Charlotte, what is it that you're looking for?
there's something here that wasn't ever here before
violet eyes open, she begins to run
teardrops fall, bloom into hope for everyone

i had forgotten those lovely, lonely days
floating alone in the sweet caress of twilight
the first rays of sunshine fall upon my face
they warm my heart, and i don't want to leave this place

she tries to find something that will never be
almost in her grasp, but she cant see

so hello Charlotte, what is it that you're looking for?
there's something here that wasn't ever here before
violet eyes open, she begins to run
teardrops fall, bloom into hope for everyone

a thousand arrows fly, but only one will hit its mark
my heart twists into the shape of a question mark
a broken voice cries out, and my legs collapse in fear
i hear her whisper "where do i go from here?"

the dark closes over me, like sleep after a long day
my eyes slide shut, but i have just enough strength to say

hello Charlotte, what is it that your looking for?
i don't know where, but i know it isn't here
so run, dear Charlotte, before your door closes
it seems so far, but know that i am near

violet eyes open, she begins to run
teardrops fall, bloom into hope for everyone
there's something here that wasn't ever here before
hello Charlotte, what is it that your looking for?
