βShe Who Tastes Your Soul.β β’ ~{She's the kind of girl who will eat up all your stories And still ask you for seconds. Because she knows what it's like to sit in silence, And she knows what it's like to drown in sadness. She doesn't care if you talk until her ears fall off. She carries superglue for those occasions So that when one falls off she can glue on the other, A never ending cycle of listening to you speak. She knows, she knows, how much it blows When others cut you off. She does her best, her damned best Not to do the same. To let you speak until your words flutter off your chest. When the faraway look creeps into her eyes Don't worry that she's lost interest, She's only living through your memories in her mind Tasting every emotion you may have experienced. She understands you to your core Even when words fail her as she attempts to explain, But believe that her heart beats along with yours And her lungs catch the same as yours. When she allows your ears to hear her sing, She has found comfort in your spirit That does not connect with just anyone. Her song is a bond that is stronger than she admits. She will bare herself naked; soul, flesh and bone To you and only you in those moments so intimate, So long as you can promise that her secrets are yours Because her loyalty knows no bounds when it comes to you. She's the kind of girl who will hand pieces of her heart To everyone and anyone alike that she meets, Like milk and baked cookies to eager children on a Saturday morning. So don't worry, you'll find sanctuary within her heartbeats.}~ β¨ π β¨ #MermaidThoughts #poetry #PoeticAsFuck
