Soft features disguised by dark ink. Cold metal to distract from doe eyes. Bare and unassuming heart shaped lips. Chipped nails and cuts adorn ringed fingers. Words harsh, near cruel by a voice soft and high. Unshapely fabric draped over a body. For she can distract most with these things. But not me. For I see a woman who I yearn to treat as sweetly and gentle as she should be. If only she would give me the chance.

Treat Her Sweetly
Soft features disguised by dark ink. Cold metal to distract from doe eyes. Bare and unassuming heart shaped lips. Chipped nails and cuts adorn ringed fingers. Words harsh, near cruel by a voice soft and high. Unshapely fabric draped over a body. For she can distract most with these things. But not me. For I see a woman who I yearn to treat as sweetly and gentle as she should be. If only she would give me the chance.
For the woman I yearn to love.
