she had really droll features--
tree trunk eyes,
matted mass of
curls-
a mundane brown
no lessso 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 agoshe knocked on my door
trembling in her everyday
clothes
her lips
blue from the cold
her eyes
a well of fearshe stood her ground
with an expression
so fierce,
calculated,
cold.her limbs hanging
limp
on her sidesbravery
fear
hatred
curiosity
andwhat pained me so much
was seeing the lies...
they clouded her head
her spiritit 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 foolishshe had no sense,
no knowledge
of how her legs
were supported
by liesshe thought she was a confident spirit
but the lies were her crutchshe went with it everywhere
when she could do that
without the crutchshe was unashamedly insentient
in the face of her crutch
held too tightly
to her chestit
fed on all things she thought she once knewthe crutch chased possibilities away
killed hearts
hardened gazes
until she got dwarfed to the size of her liesshe 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 souland I screamed--
I screamed into the abyss of unfulfilled eternities
for,
my realisation had
my face.
