Her

Her eyes an amber pool

With a smile crooked in amusement

She longed for love and trust

Her heart scattered to those she cared for

Like the freckles on her skin

She is strong both in mind and body

The sadness in her hides deep

Behind her cheery demeanor 

She values love and affection

A prize she wants to claim from her prince

Her heavy heart bound with chains as he chooses to be apart

Love always ran deep and abundant

As an underground spring

Slowly her smile softens and her eyes lose glimmer

She wants him but why not him back

Her mind wanders in curiosity

Anger beginning to burn like wildfire

Put out with sadness’ heavy rain 

Numb

She tries to climb out but scared to fall

Her thoughts and wonder begin to crawl in

Ideas she regrets and pulls her deeper

All of it screams I miss you 

Once her prince returns out of stressful slumber

Her faith shaken and weak

The heart says I’m so happy you’re back

Her head screams palter 

Intuition hushed and put to bed

Is he just a rose with thorns

Or a dream come true

Her fingers yearn to feel his hold

His chest once her warm home

But will she get burned 

Lessons being learned 

Whether to pursue or end

Love never lost 

But certainty is...
