Seasons

She's like spring

Rosy cheeks and tshirts and jeans

Delicate feet patter along the grass with happiness

the morning dew barricading intruders.

She loves like the sun; shy in the morning

bright in the afternoon

peaceful in the evening.

 

She's like summer

Tanned face and strappy tops and short shorts

showing off a supposedly perfect body.

A smile on her face that's impossible to wipe off

Her feet slip into her high heels

whilst the heavy bass blasts through the speakers.

She loves like a child loves their teddy bear

soon to throw it away.

 

She's like autumn

Dimpled cheeks and thick leggings and Converse

wandering through the fields, her dog at her heel

as acoustic music plays in her ears, and

fills her with contentedness.

She loves like he's the only one

he loves her like she's one of many.

 

She's like winter

Paler face and dense jumpers and fluffy socks

sits inside a room of comfort

and laughs at her favourite tv show

like she's never been lonely.

Snow floats down outside her window

she watches as it touches the ground,

her fingers wrapped around a warm mug of hot chocolate

and smiles to herself in the darkness.

She sighs at the appearance in the mirror

her wide hips should be for affectionate hands to rest upon

but there's just the debilitating scars that others left on her.

She loves like Pluto

too far away for anyone to reach

her mind is troubled by the blankness

and stuck in an eternity of cold space.
