First impressions

Beautiful,

with a hint of

swagger, full lips

complete with a square

shadowed jaw. At first,

I found you charming,

quite pleasant, and

your smile, flirtatious

No wonder then

you set my heart aflutter;

I liked the feeling

It made the hours crawl faster.

The longer I knew you,

the more I heard

an avalanche of words

brazen and cold, flooding

out, dimming my want

to like you,

The daydreams

became purer, more

delightful, trumping

the real you

and I knew the fickle lust

would never become more,

you were just not nice

A hardened exterior,

the insides, full

of ice.
