she was 10 years older
a pale French beauty
with a sense of humor like my own.
A triathlete
and part time vegan
with soft freckles on her face
and beautiful brown hair
She’s built like a goddess,
and is my bedroom equal.
(I promise you that's scarier than it sounds)
She has the fountain of youth between her thighs,
but she was damaged long before I came into the mix
Her green eyes for envy,
Her green eyes for greed.
A prideful beast.
I was just another victim of her pain
A temporary companion.
Her heart tangled in barbed wires
I thought I could handle it
but her barbs dug into my skin
and mine dug into hers.
In the end she was too afraid to fall
despite me reassuring that I would catch her.
I treated her well.
I fucked up at times
but I tried my best as one does.
Now her rare green irises
are carved into my retinae.
And my life now consists of
periodic flashbacks
of when I had you.
