Cold stare
Cursing everything...
Everyone in its path.
A tug at her heart
and a painful emptiness
inside her chest.
Beautiful,
They called her once.
No, she thought, never again.
But the cold gaze
Continues to pierce her body.
The hole it leaves continues to
grow...
She closes her eyes.
Once more, she concedes.
She lies down beside him.
She kisses him
Until he rolls her
Over and breathes
crocadile love
into her.
Her body is numb to this
all too familiar dance.
His touches here and there
Suddenly, it hits her
Moments too late
Just as he takes
What it is he wants.
Then he rolls over
and gives her a smile.
The piercing coldness is gone...
For now from his eyes.
A new pain has taken her now
From offering her beauty
to subdue
his painful stares.
