Favorite Quote:
Have a nice day for me, will ya?


She had the crystals of frozen oceans for irises

Dots of pigment scattered across her virgin face

Warmth emitting from the cupid's bow of her lips

Pain masking itself with her dulling closed smiles

 

She had the air of flowing love for her bloodstream

Streaks of fiery brown flooding her innocent head

Feelings of assurance erupting from her embrace

Pain masking itself with her long loose coverings

 

She had the pearls of experience for old fingernails

Swirls of identity dancing across her hands and arms

Chills spiralling down her spine from her own dreams

Pain masking itself with her veils of thick brown hair

 

She had the frown of disappointed angels for a smile

Wrinkles of stress and confusion within her forehead

Lines of anguish and surrender across her arms and legs

Pain uncovering itself through unmistakeable depression.

Is she me, or I her? Is she you, or you someone else?
