Boy Loves Girl.
he wants to take it all away,
but how much?
how far away?
he wants to unwind the oleanders in her hair,
to kiss the scratches beauty left behind.
to awaken the baby blues,
from their slumber behind velvet curtains.
and here she is now.
this is her rescue.
lying naked on his bedsheets,
goosebumps covering every inch of skin you could see,
and you can see it all.
no makeup to cover the scars.
no dirt for the tears to leave tracks in.
this is the way he wanted her.
because to him the whole world fits inside of his arms,
he sees everything he needs to in her eyes.
he would cover her in silk and lace,
furs and oils from foreign countries.
he would take away the sun, the moon, the stars,
if it would make her happy.
but nothing could make her happy.
