Somehow I know she’s not plastic
By zuzus petals
She looks so biblical With her shawl wrapped tightly against her head, And underneath her pale white shell Somehow I know she’s not plastic. But, her eyes seem stale in the moonlight, As if she’s seen too much decay in her life, And her ears ring in a low-toned pitch, As if she’s recalling the sounds of destruction. I’ve seen her, fumbling through the thoughts in her mind, When she thinks that no one is looking, And I’ve heard the way the intensity of her voice diminishes When she knows I hear her songs. I pretend too, not to notice, When she prays for me in her own secret language. I am half afraid she’ll waste her breath on me And half afraid she’ll stop; That I will be left to recreate the song on her lips, The gaze in her eyes, And her perplexing expressions as she contemplates Whether I notice or not …I doI haven't written in a while...hope you enjoy this (its kinda typically me...just read my other stuff hehe)-Zuzu Written November 30th, 2001 © on Nov 30 2001 09:16 AM PST 10 • 0
