Delicate

As she grows, a spirit wild. The beauty of an untamed child. A heart betrayed, restrained, beguiled. The beauty meets the beast. Untethered, still, her own free will. Orphaned to the winter’s chill. See through, silk tears, careful is her capture. The mask in place. Her mind, her space. Trades in her heart, her thoughts, replaced. Faux smiling, Expression imprisoned. Enduring wind blown offerings, as delicate as angel’s wings. Making summer out of snow. Ever longing so to be, The ruler of her soul.

Thank you, SKAT. But to be honest, I'm quite disappointed at the lack of comments on this site. If you look at all the views, you'll see what I mean. I SO appreciate you welcoming me, though. Your only the second one that did. Not sure if I'll be staying, only because of the lack of interaction here.
