Warning

 

You’ve heard about

her.

How no man has dared go near.

People always told you,

girls with daddy issues are easily

massacred.

They are an open door to stomp through.

But she is different.

She is

dangerous.

Her voice is a

siren.

Everything about her is a

warning.

 

You will be drawn in by her strength.

Because she had to be strong without him.

Not a single dew drop will roll down her cheek.

She will argue until you recognize she’s right,

The crisp, loud confidence in her voice will intimidate you in a way

that you’ll want to tame her.

But this is your warning, because

she will prove that she can handle herself without

you.

 

You will be drawn in by her beauty.

Because she had to cover up the tears he brought.

Her lips will curve like the crescent of the moon when she speaks,

She will easily expose her perfectly laid out teeth,

so orderly it’s as if a house builder had placed them carefully for her.

Her two imperfections, one softly placed on each cheek.

These gentle tucks of skin only uncovered when you make her laugh.

But this is your warning, because

she will prove that she can smile without

you.

 

You will be drawn in by her drive.

Because she had to prove that she could thrive without him.

Her name ringing in the ears of the audience at award ceremonies.

You begging to see her, but

her full calendar filled with pen and highlighter says otherwise.

She will make you come second.

But this is your warning, because

she will prove that she can thrive without

you.

 

Your problem will be to not fall in love with

her.
