An old Victorian Chair frayed around the edges yet elegantly appointed with carvings of rich romantic detail, sits abandoned in the corner. Her plush red seat is worn thin, though still soft and inviting. Her scrolled arms open wide to anyone who would appreciate her and use her kindly. Her antique beauty ignored in modern worlds, she sits and surveys all who pass by and glance at her with contempt as though she were useless. Rejected by those who used to love her special traits, she waits arms still open and accepting but legs a little weaker. One day, she knows she will be seen. Adored again for her special rarity and endurance. But when he comes to sit within her warm embraces, once again, Will it be too late? Will she crumble? The old Victorian chair sits alone..

Very nice. She will be more beautiful, the second time around. |

Stunning. I compliment you. This is depth. After years of searching, I have found I am nothing more, nothing less...I am in truth Just A Woman after all. |

Sandra, The Victorian imagery in this, entwined with the emotion is pure beauty. I will have a seat in a vintage chair next to you, and we can wait together. Love , Elise |
