the return.
The words fell on her shoulders
caressing them,
soft touches of the life she's just lost.
it wasn't the same anymore-
she knew this
but she couldn't face the truth.
she would rather swath herself in the lies and
make indestructible armor
so she could protect her fragile mask.
And so she turned cold.
bitter.
biting.
and destructive.
the caresses turned into daggers
and soon all she felt was nothing.
She relished in it
but she was lost to a point of no return
until
you came along and tore off her mask.
