Sunshine

Feisty as a tiger
Command of a lioness
With the cheshire cat's smile

She’s a brown eyed queen of hearts
Heir to the throne
Always balancing between decisions

She has a dark brown mane
Wonderfully wild with
A serious swagger in her step.

Told me ghosts 
Can work bluetooth.

Nails bitten to the quick,
She has a birthmark 
Stage right
And sits on every chair like it is 
The directors.

She came upon a fork in the road,
And made her own path
Introduced me to Charlie, 
Sam and 
Patrick.

We are infinite in
The falling rain outside a mall.
And chickens can float.

Chocolate makes everything better
Except dominos. 
Cause that's how i topple
Chain reactions
Pain reactions
But she's always there to set me back up
Again.

Her sympathy makes you weep
Her disappointment makes you cry
And her regrets?
She has none.

She's a brand new hipster
And her mirrored sunglasses 
Show a reflection of her soul.

Her courage and confidence 
Is built on spite
And her mood changes
As quickly as the tide

She keeps an odd combination of
Safety pins and bubbles
In her leather jacket.

She's a hopeless romantic in combat boots,
With a weakness for pushups 
And laughter that makes the sun rise.

Thank you so much! And really, what's the difference between hopeless romantic and romantically hopeless? I know I'm both! :)
