She’s a Mystery

Sitting at a table,

cellphone open,

an untouched coffee 

before her;

eyes hidden 

by that raven hair,

her mind a mystery

behind those tresses.

A smile.

I walk with her,

hand in hand

to the place 

we share, 

a monument

to all we have built 

together.

Later, 

a nice dinner

at home. 

And then,

she burned my shit

on the front lawn.

Times are good. People watching is weak. Tough writing times.

A very cunning setup and a killer twist here. The way you illustrated her mystery was a brilliant construct: first the smoldering allure of her mystique, then a warm and cozy connection, then: Wam! A startling, venomous strike. I felt this far more than if you had simply expressed your emotions outright. You show us how it's done. Excellent work!
