heavenly
graceful
subtle to the eyes of many
blatant to the one who was in great need of her
swept by her stubbornness
taken by her spirit
appearing as one to everyone else who stood with her
she became everyone to him
skin
smooth as sand
light as coffee
hair
dark as oak
eyes
more captivating than that of the night sky
but such a beauty comes with a twist
pushed aside from the beginning
destructive
distant
bitter when accommodating the thoughts of others
but much destruction lay in the words she spoke to him
such aversion came with a graceful painting
he'd soon discover that the one thing which brought him great happiness
would also be the one that inflicted mountains of pain upon him
