Masks
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.
