she would wear you down if you looked twice and didn’t notice her grooved edge hidden under careless come-hithers; she has laughter and knives in her eyes and not one ounce of hesitation. the way she smokes makes you think she is a dragon. no, just a dragonfly actively escaping her own boundaries, lines she drew all over herself when she was unbroken as a child. she wakes up sometimes at 2 in the morning and doesn’t know why so she makes up the dreams she doesn’t have in sleep, and so much time has passed since she stopped living in the moment that all her memories have become kinder than strangers. at one time she was beautiful, or so the boys told her once they’d cornered her in dark corners so she figured it was true. or true enough. theses days she doesn’t hold too tightly to familiar handles, and she doesn’t hold hands at all. if you could get close enough to taste her you would know that she’s not as poisonous as she would like but she still bites. |

correction- the lines should have been split this way... i hope "hidden under careless come-hithers; she has laughter and knives in her eyes and not one ounce of hesitation. the way she smokes makes you" |
