Once again, this is for Bee.
OoOoO
O
Nothing ever stays the same.
Only, this isn't the kind of change you like;
Death is not exciting.
It is no fun anticipating when
(Not 'if', and you know it)
He will take you.
You don't like to dance to the
Terrible tune of fear.
O
So you toss back your hair and laugh,
Drowning o u t that jarring beat.
Your bold words and predatory smiles
Are a mask.
Nothing more.
You never stop fighting and planning.
You can't.
And when you return,
You are relentless;
Wild laughter.
Foolish games.
Teasing words.
Dirty jokes.
(Never silent. Never still.)
O
The world is spinning out of control,
And one person alone is calm: her,
Alice.
Steady. Brave. Strong.
A single, unwavering look from
Her deep brown eyes, and
The World is still.
It stops, for you; her gift.
O
When you are with Alice,
You forget to be afraid.
Instead, you think of
How safe it feels to be in her arms,
How gentle her hands are,
as she toys with your hair.
And your heart stops hammering, instead
Beating in perfect unison with hers, because
You're in love.
O
OoOoO
