A...Z/About a Girl

You are distant...
As distant as the days past death...

She goes as the moments,forever living
Her smile is stark betrayal

You asked for it...you love the manipulation

Her lips have been dreamt about
Though in unforgiving day they speak of light to fools,
in deep listening she words bereft humanity and loss of love

She has the world in her concrete box
Men of fool's blood and watered mouths crave the stone cold maiden
If not for lost love she'd be true and kind

"But she's a child...as I am,"cried my mind
Her sex is spiteful,loveless, lost through time
She's a friend of mine

Her innocent countenance could lead to cruel misconception
Expect deception,as you expect sun to day
For her poison unlike her beauty,will never fade away

"in deep listening she words bereft humanity and loss of love." perhaps "in deep listening her words are seen to be bereft of humanity, full of loves lost."???..reminds me of my Sweet Sexteen verse. Light & Love
