Triangles

seven

age: thirteen

Audrey is thirteen,

and she has moved away;

away from all the heart ache,

away from all the pain.

She keeps her heart at bay

and hides it from her sleeve;

as she knew she wouldn't be able to

protect it if someone leaves.

But then there came a boy,

and Dominique was his name.

Another James in a manner of speaking;

different, but the same.

While walking to her class,

he would catch her eye;

and when his green ones would meet hers,

he would flash her a smile.

But Audrey bows her head,

unable to believe;

in fairytales and ever afters

when they're all just lies and deceit.

Dominique would furrow his eyebrows

but Audrey doesn't know;

because when he would try to wave at her,

she would duck her head and go.

Dominique is confused:

he felt immediately what was wrong.

The new girl that he liked so well

had turned out to be a broken song.

Where her tunes played soft,

they were far from sweet and happy;

each pitch was a cracked sound

that wasn't anything like a melody.

He couldn't possibly know,

that there's another boy she misses;

whose kisses would be solution

to fixing her jagged pieces.

So Dominique resolves to find

a way to make Audrey laugh;

though he might not be the boy she seeks

he'll try his hardest to be her staff.
