a smirk and a wink

A Poem by destiny

with a smirk and a wink it begins.

white lies and subtle eyes

open the door for new discovery.

and she bites down on his apple with the hunger of new beginnings,

vanished

with memories to be foretold

and a heart that's grown quite cold

she can't contain herself.

she's waited for him like a snake for it's prey,

and now that he's finally come.

she opens to him.

and like a moth to a flame they are drawn,

inseperable,

for she cannot see the true him,

she can only see what she has made him.

perfect, for her,

in every sense of the word

her heart contracts with love

and beauty

and her eyes tell the story of a bittersweet

ending to her grief.

and as he notices he begins to retreat.

the face of the devil looks quite good

hidden beneath his cheek,

and so he groans with pleasure as she falls

harder than ever to his every command,

innocent like empty seashells hidden in the sand,

quite worn.

she is alight with new hope and wonder

as he plots his next move with an expert

hand and mind.

she has no idea until the end hits her

with the force of a derailed train she is

blown back,

lying face first on the ground

covered in grief,

tears and disbelief,

she is the sole meaning of a broken heart.

satisfied, he walks away.

closing the door to her happiness,

wrapped only in finality.

and with a smirk and a wink,

it ends.

Author's Note

I wrote this in five minutes after a nasty breakup. it was just a sort of release, I hadn't looked at it since, recently though, I reread it and decided that it wasn't half bad. so I decided to post it.

It starts and ends as relatively as it started...with this verse...
of course it also helps that you tell us that in the author's note...
that you wrote it after a breakup...with your lines in the beginning and finale...
it's at those moments that emotions are running wild...and this came about...
