she was the incandescent body of matter
that always seemed to
wander at places she could
not call home.
she was the jot of rapture
that embodied the broken and entangled
messes of the earth,
holding them together.
she was another form of self-destruction
that ignored the blaring sirens
and stretched her hands forward,
intercepting through my body
and seizing a grip
on my heart.
she was an iota of fear
but still reached her hands towards me anyway and grounded me like a lighthouse beam reaching
towards a boat and guiding it
back to shore.
she was a scintilla of whims,
a soft-spoken disaster.

the idea of this poem is not entirely mine by the way!!!!
