The Silhouette
I see this beautiful girl, her figure seems clear to me
 Big brown eyes that scream fierce, with a smile that says innocent
 The two equal each other out like a perfect mathematical equation
 No decimals or fractions, just simple to understand whole numbers
 I gaze upon her sassy, yet classy walk
 Her hips sway side to side like a pendulum 
 It’s hypnotizing and I can’t resist
 I blink, and there’s the same girl
 A blanket of fog covers her figure, and only her silhouette is visible.
 Between her silk fingers is a cigarette, and as she lights it up
 They change more and more into stone
 She takes that cigarette, puts it in her mouth
 Breathes in, breathes out, her soft lips crack
 Her perfectly straight teeth separate 
 Her confident eyes droop, and her smile fades
 As the fog lightens, she becomes clearer
 She is the way I remember her from the beginning
 Everything is all there, from her fierce eyes, and hypnotizing hips
 But they’re invisible to me now,
 No innocence, no beauty
 No fierceness no confidence
 I just see a girl
 That’s all I’ll ever see
