Shattered
She meets you with a smile;
Her eyes light up
Like stars
Twinkling and shining
brightly,
A brittle mask hiding who she
is.
Then it shatters--
A thousand crystal shards
dusting down
Like rain...
Tiny facets reflecting
Everything she is and maybe
more.
Scattered and lost among each
other
Like puzzles
No one can solve
Not even her.
The pieces will always form a
whole--
Even if that whole is never
the same
Two times running.
The new girl
Is one you never think you
know.
You wonder where she went--
The girl who met you with a
smile.
Maybe you don’t realize she’s
still there...
But she is,
Like shadows, hiding in the
dark.
You just can’t see her.
She only lets you see what she
wants you to see.
So what you know--
What you’ve always known--
Is an image she chooses
Like reflections in a mirror.
She only shows you what you
expect to see.
And so her eyes sparkle with
mischief,
Like topaz--
Reflecting the light she sees
but not what’s inside--
And she meets you with a smile.
