dampness forms in her eyelids,
slowly treading itself down her honey skin,
slipping down her cheeks;
teardrops are born.
brown eyes gaze into the horizon,
sweeping over the sunset,
forever wondering;
if the pain will cease.
fragile fingertips trace shapes,
twirling and digging themselves,
into the earth's surface;
dreading to be loved.
heart strings pull and release,
yanking emotional impulses,
and flooding imperfections;
coveting for a shoreline.
delicate arms are open,
awaiting for the storm to hit,
a futile attempt to embrace it;
but she is the storm.
