A/N: Based on Charles' and Raven's first meeting in the movie. And thank you to the aeroplane who aired it and got me hooked. :)
Written for the 5,10,20,50,70,100 fandoms challenge, fandom 18. And this is what…my third poem?
Charles, Meet Raven
Her face slid so smoothly
it was impossible to draw the line
between truth and lie
But he could tell
somehow
And not because her thoughts
blared
in his mind
But the innocence, the youth
in her eyes
as masks of caution fled
from them
And they plucked at something
in his heart:
a kindred soul,
someone who could understand…
He'd worry about his mother
in the morning;
he wasn't going to turn her away
into the night.
In fact, he didn't think
he was ever
going to let her go.
