Blood red lips
Flaxen locks
Sea blue eyes
Delicate hands
Showing her nerves
Clasped, then released
Flawless ivory skin
Conceals a marred soul,
Billows of remorse
Windows to her grave thoughts
Tainted with dark secrets
That she will never tell.

Conceals a marred soul,
Billows of remorse

That she will never tell.
It's a bit dark for me, but honestly I needed to get what I was feeling out or I was going to explode into tears and confusion in the middle of class. Update: I took the plunge and submitted this to my school's yearbook committee to be published din their annual literature magazine.... Gah! I'm finally in print!! Thanks so much to every one of you for the support!
