Riley

A fireball burning from within. Destined to destroy and you know it. But don’t stand too close. You’ll get lost in her fiery eyes. She’s an enchantress but she doesn’t know it. So captivating you’re lost in the sea of her vocabulary. The words on her tongue are spell-binding. Heart twisting, mind spinning, soul filling limericks that have never done more than reflect her emotions elegantly. But every-so-often, her mouth runs dry. She breaks. And you don’t want to be far when she does. She’s devastatingly gorgeous. Heartbreak in a person. But she’s gentle and she’s perfect. A beautiful broken masterpiece who has always been more than a sum of her parts. She’s a force to be reckoned with. Dangerously powerful yet careful. She is strong but unaware because all she knows is her imperfections. She is broken but that’s okay. Because like her, so many strong women began as broken little girls.
