she will never admit
the way his life fit
so perfectly in the
palm of her hands.
how his voice could
wake her from the
monsters that live
inside of her head.
she promised her
self that she would
never tell anyone
the way his smile
could bring her to
tears. his laugh
made her heart
flutter and that
look in his eyes. she
will never admit
the way his lies fit
so perfectly in the
palm of her hands.
but she tells herself
over and over again
that he is not an angel
only a man and the
light around him was
only her wish for it to
be so, not the beautiful
perfection of a halo
but she knows that he
knows that should he
decide to come back
that he will still fit
pefectly in the palm
of her hands.
