halloween girl
sadness seeps
the confusion is free
as she realizes
why she has to obsess
digress, constantly seek and think too deep
and then she resents
her motive so clear now
she's just struggling to close that big gap
--but he takes a wider stance
away from her now--
he no longer sees
she clings to, holds on to
something
anything
to keep her connection
his secret
her obsession
attaching her heart to it
the only way she feels tight
and close to him now
lost all that she was
all that she could've been
when he lost his
naive little starstruck
halloween girl
she looks at you
from outside of herself
running and seeking
trying to find a way out of her disguise
she wants you to feel like home
when she looks in your eyes
when she feels your strong, soothing hands
she still knows
that she's so far away
knowing what she knows
and she's been so unfair to him now, for too long
but her selfish desires and fears
they combat his lies and resent his honest eyes
and mess with her only intention...to love
with her eyes on the prize
so she's all alone
--a fallen angel, broken wings--
on a stranger's front porch, looking in
arms outstretched, wanting to come in
the emptiness
it swallows her whole
hanging right between her and him
between every feeling and thought
in her heart and her mind
she longs to be that girl
that other girl
perched on the porch
with a trick and a treat
full of bliss, ignorance at its best
no costume to hide behind
...so free to flyStumble It!

Hi Brokenpoetrygirl,
You got beautiful tattoo-feathered wings. But how can you fly if they are tied down with straps of boob bags?
heh...thanks for the laugh;)
...and for such a deeply analytical thought!
This is such a good poem, I need a little time to think about how it makes me feel and then summon up the courage to write about it.
Back Later I'm away to walk the dog.
