Setting his eyes upon her body
He just knew he was going to marry.
Striding down the lonely street
Her broken shoes tapping at a constant beat.
Limbs are shaking he approaches the girl
‘Hello Miss, my name is Mitchell’
As he requests her name
She hides her shame
Not another word is spoken
Inside she feels re-awoken
As he buys her clothes and a meal
The last food she ate she had to steal.
Out of the kindness of his heart
Something special was about to start
As they feast over candlelight
She gets a sudden fright
The almost stranger requests her name
Once again she cowers in shame
But whispers quietly “Jewel”
He smiles at her and states that it’s beautiful.
Before the words are even said
She is out of sight feeling it the end.
He runs out to the city where she can’t be seen
He wishes that he knew why she ran.
The confusion and hurt is beginning to start
Jewel is all he thinks in beat with his heart.
The start of the search begins for the one he loves
He never gives up, not for days, months or years.
After searching high and low across the country
His search brings him to the cemetery.
He searches each tomb stone fearing the worst
But there it is “Jewel Burst (26-11-1985 – 30-01-2007)”
The love of his life had been gone for years
Down his cheeks all that can be seen are tears.
He don’t move, not for anything, there he lays
In front of his love till his dying days.
