I was stunning to behold
A detail most obvious
But you never once ate me up with your stare
a
aaaaaaaaaaa starved rabid w o l f
a
Your eyes danced lightly over my figure
I was studied; admired.
a lustrous piece of art, a true token of beauty
a
A thoughtfully intrigued glance –
maybe even a playful smirk
lit your face
s
All I know
Is that you had the chance to pluck me
For your own to keep
To watch
Whilst I withered away
And decayed
a
But instead you allowed me to stay
I was watered
And so I bloomed*
a
And let me just say
Never have I
aaaaaaaafelt
aamore
aaaaaaaaaaaalive.
