Something I wrote when I was thinking of what seems to happen when people first meet me.
Shadows In The Corner

I see your eyes on me
piercing and lustful.

You are attracted to me
the girl that sits in a shadowed corner.

My aura is pulsing with mystery
you enjoy solving the unknown.

You think I look beautiful
with the shadows playing just right on my pale face.

You give yourself a pep talk
to brave the small distance between us.

You are a mere inch from my seated form
you kneel down to appear less frightening.

I laugh quietly to myself
how little you know...

You smile
you try to catch my eye.

I lift my head with minimal effort
my gaze meets yours.

Your eyes widen in shock
you back away quickly.

You utter meaninless excuses
claiming you have to go.

Oh.. but don't you know?
When your eyes met with mine that I could see into your soul?

You don't realize it yet
but you have been burned.

Burned by my ice
frostbitten deep inside.

You will soon forget ever meeting me

But the next time you see me
sitting alone in my dark corner.

A strange though will come to your mind.
'Do not go near her'

You will not understand why.
but you will listen to your inner voice

And you will not approach me again.
