"Softness is not weakness. It takes courage to stay delicate in a world this cruel." -Beau Taplin


Biting through the darkness

Is the brightness of her eyes

Gleaming soft as starlight

Against the dying sky

 

Dark and deep intelligence 

With a soft and tender touch

Human if only barely so

Treading lightly on this earth 

 

Angelic in her looks 

Demonic in her thoughts

Monsters in her head

She keeps behind a lock

 

Careful to protect herself 

And those that she holds dear

Feigning truat with smiles

So no one can get near
