As I stared into the eyes of a female I noticed that her eyelashes were long, Only on one eye and in The other A bead of water was forming, Just about to boil over, roll over her lid And Down her cheek, all the way to her chin She was losing something, she couldn't win... In her eyes I saw her pain, her sadness Her vulnerability mixed with madness She was Open like a diary with a lock on it. Cracked but, not enough to read the words She was human... She had skin that was painted so beautifully, Contacts to cover the soft chocolate brown Of her eyes, I guess that was her disguise... But, her curly hair... Her black veil Was voluminous and made me stare Now covered one eye... She played eye-spy As she studied me. She stared hard Was I being played like a card? Could she read my thoughts? Did she know My insecurities or my love for the snow? Could she twist my words like a bow? Is she evil, nice, or full of spite? Is this girl stronger than I thought? I guess I'll know when I ask her... Butterflies filled my stomach, a stir... I blinked, looked forward and asked her Her words in synch w/ mine Lips moving at the Same time I guess those are the things you figure out When you are out and about Bettering yourself... Before you raise your phone To take a selfie, frowning all alone
