her captivating face,
away from the malevolent morals
and tries to cut a moment of Silence's temperament.
---
She wants,
she yearns
TO just BE
left alone.
For one slice of Time is precious.
---
Jealousy stares at her murderously
while Passion plays in the pits of her mind-
entrusting Desire's Susceptibility
but stepping delicately away before revealing what can't be reversed.
---
Everybody's
needs.
Everybody's
hunger.
Everybody's
love.
Everybody's
revenge.
Everbody's
sense of Belongingness.
Rests haphazardly in her hands.
The children she can not let down. Not even gently.
Her Self just desires Freedom from. It. Them.
---
She is a servant to Living.
A casualty left over from Life.
Desire is assassinated by a one-night stand with Satisfaction.
---
Teased,
on the playground between Falsehood and Reality,
by the bully Emotion.
The teacher, Greed, proud of his student.
She is taunted by Promiscuity
and used daily by Selfishness
and the occasional enlarged Ego.
---
She's voted in the superlatives of Most Loved
and Most Longed For.
But in her heart,
and in her head,
she'll step onto the dance floor on the cold, lucid arm of Loneliness.
A few times more, a thousand times over.
