hard beauty.

A shocking revelation.

How can she be so captivating?

Has she always been this way?

Or

Has she created a way

To bleed

Beautifully

Rigid

The way she growls.

Struts

Gazes.

Full of lava

Stardust

Dazes

How?

A river of tears?

Many years

She’s sweet

Kept

Even when she was engulfed

Pulse

Wasn’t so clear.

Mesmerizing

Hard

Yet tranquilizing

She hides her fears

Like magic…
