one day you'll meet a girl
with c o n s t e l l a t i o n s
in her eyes, and
scars on her thighs.
she'll talk about
the t h o u s a n d lives
she's lived in the
pages of her books,
but never about the times
her life she almost took.
her deep blue eyes will
remind you of the
r e s t l e s s waves
that crash mercilessly
against the rocks
but those ocean eyes are
troubled
more than you thought.
She has a spark in her
that you could never ignite.
So don't let burning that out
be your goal
if you could never compete
with the fire in her soul.
