Another old poem...

Kendal

***

She meets you with a smile
Her eyes light up
Like stars
Twinkling and shining brightly
A brittle mask hiding who she is
Then it shatters
A thousand crystal shards dusting down
Like rain
Scattered and lost among each other
Like puzzles
No one can solve, not even her
The pieces will always form a whole
Even if that whole is never the same
Two times running
The new girl
Is one you never think you know
You wonder where she went
The girl who met you with a smile
Maybe you don't realize she's still there
But she is
Like shadows
Hiding in the dark
You just can't see her
She only lets you see what she wants you to see
So what you know
What you've always known
Is an image she chooses
Like reflections
In a mirror
She only shows you what you expect to see
And so her eyes sparkle with mischief
Like topaz
Reflecting the light she sees but not what's inside
And she meets you with a smile.
