Deflection


Mist surrounds her body
To deceive his perception
Her actions are erratic
It confounds him
Yet he approaches
Warnings echo from her
To drive him away
Her voice is dissonant
It disorients him
Yet he listens
Venom drips from her tongue
To poison his mind
Her words are pestilent
It pains him
Yet he remains
Quills form on her skin
To prevent his embrace
Her defense is unpredictable
It repels him
Yet he holds her
Claws and teeth strike out
To rend his flesh
Her attack is lethal
It butchers him
Yet he clings
Tears flow out her eyes
To clarify his intentions
Her viewpoint is changed
It saves him
Yet he is bleeding
Honey drips from her pores
To cleanse his wounds
Her compassion is delicate
It heals him
Yet he is scarred
Love escapes from her heart
To rekindle his interest
Her affection is sincere
It renews him
Yet he was hurt before
Regret shows on his face
To signal the end
His decision is final
It destroys her
Yet she smiles
Camaraderie sparks between them
To alleviate their heartache
Their past is entwined
It unites them
Yet they are apart
Gripping hands, they stand back to back
To support each other
Their strength is their weakness
It solidifies them
Yet they falter
Perfection for them is impossible
To try for more is foolish
Their companionship is strongly founded
It is enough for them
Yet they dream of more
