day24?

um.. yes def just started another epic series (this time on purpose..i guess..whoops)

She's Ugly I


Hands calloused,


holding on to the things

you have done and said..

reaching for the people

you have loved(and lost)...

is hard work


face softened by the things

that she has denied seeing,

there is a thin line between baby faced

and brashly polished...

gleaming nevertheless


no one hesitates to kiss her face

thinking as they may

that there is nothing

but the beauty of

a woman with

untransferable history

to fear there


be that as it may...

but there will always be the question of

who will hold

those hands of hers


She's ugly
