For Mystii's pairings challenge
&& you watch her
constantly
because how can you not
when she's beauty
p e r s o n i f i e d
She's so m e s m e r i s i n g
so e l e g a n t
so c h a r i s m a t i c
:-:
&& maybe you don't
quite understand
why you watch her
so much
Silly fool, you're in love.
:-:
That word it stings
because you're just so
unsure
because feeling n a u s e a s
when she is around
doesn't make it
love
Stop worrying, darling boy
you're not the first
:-:
Your eyes follow her
constantly
&& you see all those
little pieces
that t r a i l behind her
&& you know that she is
so independently broken
:-:
She's the child
of two people
so intent
on destroying each other
that they never
loved her
&& you want to be
the boy
that soothes her pain
that picks up those
little pieces
:-:
Instead you watch her
over the rim of that book
you've constantly
got your nose
stuck in
Stop hiding, foolish boy
push that book aside
it can't protect you
from love
:-:
Stop wishing
to soothe her pain
&& be the g l u e
she so desperately needs
&& yes, she independent
but don't let that
get in your way
:-:
Don't be afraid
to h o l d her
l o v e her
&& watch all those
little pieces
Come together.
You know what to do.
