Sometimes it can be hard to know her skin
 the way she likes to hide 
and never let somebody in. 

But even so she's like roses,
 and their fallen petals 
 floating in the wind.

 Caught in the zephyr, 
my hands stretched to their limit;
 and even with the tightest grip, 
 they still slip through my fingers. Interlaced the same stem, 
Woman to woman
 That old teenage wet dream.

 Red lipstick smeared across our face, 
 Her laughter in my mouth,
 and God I love the way it tastes.

Unfinished poem about the unfinished girl
Sometimes it can be hard to know her skin
 the way she likes to hide 
and never let somebody in. 

But even so she's like roses,
 and their fallen petals 
 floating in the wind.

 Caught in the zephyr, 
my hands stretched to their limit;
 and even with the tightest grip, 
 they still slip through my fingers. Interlaced the same stem, 
Woman to woman
 That old teenage wet dream.

 Red lipstick smeared across our face, 
 Her laughter in my mouth,
 and God I love the way it tastes.
