pastel flowers in a sea
of dark, monotone obis.
seduced by long car rides
and the thought of oblivion.
gold in a world of silver.
silver in a world of gold.
seduced by the color red
and danger.
surprise acts of kindness
and art galleries.
seduced by lilac sunsets
and big cities.
mystery and suspense.
lust and cheap perfume.
she was all of these things
and more.
but she was never mine.
