She's Like...

SHE'S LIKE...

She's like two people,
all rolled up in one girl.
Her mood glows first hot
then her eyes grow cold.

She's like a mystery,
with many twists and turns.
Things aren't always easy,
sometimes her flame burns.

She's like a rare jewel,
a diamond with sharp edges.
So many sides and facets,
have I even seen them all?

She's like a red rose
her smiles sharp as thorns
though its she I've chose
for her petals are not torn.

She's like a window
I can see myself in her.
Even when she lays me low
a drug she is, I want no cure.

***Believe it or not, I've written this about myself. I know vanity right? Not really. Just some phrases I'd heard my ex use while with me, prompted all these thoughts in my head and pretty soon there was a poem. I don't know if I like it.***

oh and btw...have you ever thought of writing lyrics??? lol, sorry i just really like your poetry, some of your lines are just fucking magic!! spot on!! They would fit really well into songs!! (i'm thinking AFI, or The Misfits style gothic-punk rock... )
I dunno!! Maybe i'm just silly!

thanks guys!

pete- I love that sort of music but although I come from a musically talented family, I have no sort music talent. is writing lyrics so very different from writing poetry? I'm game though if you are! thanks again!

Shelly-

Well with lyrics it's got to be in a certain consistent rhythm(well doesn't have to, but usually helps a lot!)..... Have you ever tried writing lyrics?

i see it not as vanity. i write about myself a lot. sometimes you need a good healthy dose of self inflicted self-esteem. this was a great piece.
