Gemini

By Jaxia Kiley © 2005


So cruel
To pulverize a living, beating heart
With words that reek of acid
Formed by such beautiful lips

-----

Before you, love was a little girl
playing dress up and pretend.
The shoes fit me now and the
clothes are my own but
loving you is still like still like
being in a fairy tale.
