Long eyelashes blinking away the snowflakes
hands reaching to catch them as they fall
their beauty melting away in her hands

Independence

My independence I craved
The one thing you decided to take

Too Capable

our hearts are so capable
of selfless love
But our minds are too capable
of envious need
our hands are so capable
holding another
But our feet are too capable
of running away

Bluebeard

I kissed the lips of my Prince Charming

If only I had realized I was looking into the eyes

of my Bluebeard

Begging

Soft
Illuminating warmth
Saying my name
Begging me to stay
Your lips hold all
of my attention
Mine begging to be
Kissed

Away

Watching you walk away without looking back
reminded me of the strength I wish I could have.

Beautiful Thorns

Beautiful people, with beautiful words
seductively interesting
but
Their voices hold contempt

Beautiful roses, with sweet scented petals
Curiously radiant
but
Their stems hold thorns
