I've never felt so whole before; I wish I felt wholly more surprised not by the fire in her stare; by the red flowers in her hair; but by the cologne scented letter on the floor with her sweater she thinks I didn't see her hide...

Lips of velvet pursed and mocking; Eyes watching, flattered and bemused. I've never felt so whole before, just as I've never felt so wholly used. Chocolate skin and silver lace, Behind soft whispers, and pretty lies. lines of worry mark her perfect face, as she turns to face my knowing eyes. I've never felt so whole before; I wish I felt wholly more surprised not by the fire in her stare; by the red flowers in her hair; but by the cologne scented letter on the floor with her sweater she thinks I didn't see her hide...
