Nora
I see the girl
with a smile in her eyes
How is it I suddenly realize
her name I know, Nora
She appears whenever
I'm ill at ease
Her eyes they flirt and tease
I smile and all is good
because of Nora
Others I tell of Nora
how I begin to adore her
The times we spend hand and hand
always together but never planned
always with my Nora
At last this cannot be
for others never can see
and judging they doubt me
troubled my mind must be
for Nora is only imaginary
Against my will
forced on pills
Therapy to save me
from the girl
only I can see
Tears fill the smiling eyes of Nora
She left me blue and cold
for her they took and stole
It's been awhile I never smile
cured by medicine and misery
Nora I can no longer see
It's been awhile and I can't recall
what was the name I never saw
Was she just a trick in my mind
erased by cures and passage of time
Could I feel what wasn't real
Stress is strong
something so wrong
I want more
then the medication I can afford
Feeling ill I flush those pills
After awhile
I hear and see
the face with the eyes
that smiled for me
She places her hand into mine
whispers that I'm her valentine
Happy I am to see her again
forgiving me now together we will be
For I will never tell
of the one who delights and thrills
No one needs to know
of the girl my heart keeps and holds
Nora
