CH

i think i have written this before

i know i will think it again, again

 

when...

do those classy ladies

with hepburn smiles and frowns

get close enough

 

to give a chance for a say

in the whole matter of

tugging a sliver of heart out

every time they walk away

 

and the worst part of it all

is when they do come near

and it is finally made known

 

that they think and dream just the same

making me love them all the more

 

beauty is skin deep,

any further and you scratch something

utterly unknowable to the wearer

 

so how could one hope

to ever know the nature

of those classy hepburn ladies

 

just know they wonder

how you keep so chipper

 

a mess can be beautiful:

dreams are a perfection

and we are moving in.
