she falls apart
she writes when nobody looks
an eye is being graced, it's only by his presence
they put on the daylight
and wore it until trinity ended
green paradise is set out, she's ready to jump
one day we saw her
wild hair blowing in the wind
of what seemed an eternity of waiting
she quotes shakespeare and silent films
and has a different laugh each time
she sighed over a somebody
but he couldn't hear her singing
she danced with the roses
but he stopped remembering her voice
she breathed his carbon air
she could wear the cheap goodwill gowns
but she'd still look like a princess
although the slippers never fit
she bought a song
and it quipped her word for word
rented old movies and watched them on the floor
said no to the salesmen with dazzling teeth
bought a box of kleenex
and made up a new name for herself
teacup beauty
she felt the raindrops from inside
they caught and held her still
as if a single move would disturb their sanctity
he came and kissed her, she forgot the rain
but that was okay..
