Falling

Tossed about the aisles
Drawing eyes
And dirty minds
Slipping into the years
Like the unconditional
Limitless patience
Of distance
Rendered speechless
Seemingly …
Unresponsive
Soundless underground
Beneath her special skin
Eclipsed
Still lovely how she moves
Delivered from the remnants
Of that so called  ever after
A breath from the overcast
While the only truth
She ever knew
Lies in the shy shadows
Whispering spring
Into the thin cushion
Of her delicate skin
When she looks away
