AN: Written for Black Boxed's poetry challenge. Also, does ffn's formatting not allow for stanzas? What's up with that?
almost
golden curls flying
little feet and little hands
she's smiling at him
.
Audrey's a shadow
of a perfect gilded girl
who's lost herself
.
Percy touches her
gingerly, afraid he'll break
her unblemished flesh
.
she's all he could want
her nose crinkles when she laughs
and she drinks black tea
.
please love her more than
the girl who was once Penny
he pleads to himself
.
and life is just that
almost the girl of his dreams
it's almost perfect
