The Shiver in Her Voice

It was the shiver in her voice

I knew she’d be okay

The fierceness in her eyes

Will guide her the right way

The apples of her cheeks

Red like the roses

A smile so faint

As her happiness slowly closes

Kindness drips from her tongue

And aids everyone she meets

She truly is enchanting

One that no one mistreats

I wondered what she was like

How could someone be whole

I haven't yet met her

But I feel close to her pure soul

I wanted to get to know her

Examine her peace from within

But what if she puts her mask on

And hides everything above the chin

I want to be like her

Or be close to that good

To be half as perfect

I’m not sure there’s a likelihood

After all, I am just me

And she is she

But no human is perfect

She’s probably not what she made out to be
