Behind Sealed Doors
Nightshade waves cascade down
framing porecilin white skin
and red, seductive lips.
Her hips, gentle curves
that have been touched,
carressed.
At first she seems okay.
She can trick you with a smirk,
a flick of her wrist
but the thing is
eyes can not lie.
Look deeper
past her beauty, her charm
You will see a young girl crying
over her addicted mother
and abusive father.
Flash foward ten years
You will see her struggles.
A boyfriend of two years, gone
A shameful job at the local bar.
She tries to hide all of this
behind doors that were sealed long ago.
She may flawless,
but she's not faultless.
