Butterflies slip through the cracks of the facade
Slumping shoulders somber from hurt and
want.
Pensive of the thought that he is only
something borrowed
and prays for the debt of her heart
repaid.
For to him, she is merely just a boy.
Lashes longer than usual,
face soft and guileless but still a boy.
But to the Countess, this boy is quite the number.
Heedlessly savoring the golden taste of youth
winking within the teeth of her bright smile
from his crooked allure.
Like the wretched Actaeon,
her heart strings will surely tear to shreds looming
so close. Drowning two faces
at once as she so much allows.
For she is not what she is or wants to be.
Only a bitter girl in sweet love.

I wrote this as an assessment for school. It was incited from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night or What you Will from Viola's perspective. You probably have no idea what I'm talking about. So essentially, Viola is a girl dressed as a man and has fallen in love with her boss who thinks she's a man but is a woman.
