#vss365 #rhyme #poem She is her own #creation, A complete work of art, A perfect fabrication, That doesn’t match her heart. Her smile “says look at me,” With a crown spun from fool’s gold And pink-flushed apple cheeks Hiding a soul that’s cold. She sings an angel’s song While demons tag along.

#Vss365 We meet on the #road. Lime trees oversee our steps; you avoid my gaze. I study you, you fix your eyes on him. That smile you bring— feigned unfamiliarity. At last, you glance my way and flash me a smile that doesn't reach your eyes. But I see you #ascend to your place of superiority.
