unfulfilled eternities

she had really droll features--
tree trunk eyes,
matted mass of
curls-
a mundane brown
no less

so unpleasant to look at
twitching my heart--
her fists curled
a permanent sneer
on her face--
such an inutile piece
of existence--
but one
that approached me
two nights ago

she knocked on my door
trembling in her everyday
clothes
her lips
blue from the cold
her eyes
a well of fear

she stood her ground
with an expression
so fierce,
calculated,
cold.

her limbs hanging
limp
on her sides

bravery
fear
hatred
curiosity
and

what pained me so much

was seeing the lies...

they clouded her head
her spirit

it hung off her aura
like a cold blanket
seeking her warmth
her innocence
her meaningless existence--
it was slowly leaching
her off all her goodness
spurting where her
heart
once stayed--
with darkness;

she looked so unsure
but clear
so lame
but strong
so intelligent
but foolish

she had no sense,
no knowledge
of how her legs
were supported
by lies

she thought she was a confident spirit
but the lies were her crutch

she went with it everywhere
when she could do that
without the crutch

she was unashamedly insentient
in the face of her crutch
held too tightly
to her chest

it
fed on all things she thought she once knew

the crutch chased possibilities away
killed hearts
hardened gazes
until she got dwarfed to the size of her lies

she was a lie

a huge lie

staring into my eyes

smiling that secretive smile of hers

she looked helpless like a beggar
mysterious like my aunt
perfect like a doll
but imperfect like my soul

and I screamed--

I screamed into the abyss of unfulfilled eternities

for,
