Pin the Butterfly ~ II
She watches the thoughts play past your eyes,
Clouds flitting in time-lapse on a windy day,
And you finally speak, the words coming slowly,
Unaccustomed to the truth that weighs heavily on them.
Your mind is jammed and you cannot form a thought of your own,
Nor are you aware of what you are saying to her as she replies.
You ache to make her smile, the knife digging deeper into your neck,
Begging for your release from this waiting.
She is your salvation.
The pure laugh finds it's way to your mind and
Washes over you, so cool and soothing.
You can't help but drink from the pool of her
And it burns inside you.
Instantly, you stop breathing and know you must leave
Distance yourself from her before she kills you with this . . .
Understanding?
Acceptance?
Love?
What is it about her?
How can you own it?
How can you own HER?
Your mind turns back in revulsion to what she is saying and her
Mirror opposite to you is addictive.
Her stark black and white to the blinding colors you hide behind.
Your soul is shaking from the strain of being so close to all these people
When you really want the privacy to fall upon her words and devour them.
Somehow you have been led away from the crush of bodies and
You are standing under the fairy lights on the porch staring at her as she sips
The champagne and your are transfixed on the touch of her lips to the glass . . .
The subtle flex of her throat and you itch to feel that
Simple movement under your fingertips.
Your panic is rising as you know she has noticed your staring at her.
"You are so . . . mint magnolia."
Where the words come from, you'll never know
But she pauses, confused.
Uncertain
Caught.
