You are the most incredible woman I've ever met. 

Those eyes, dramatically painted in the color of royalty with lashes for days,
a pale shoulder slipping through an oversized neckline -

She will pull you in

and lift you up

  up

                p

          u  

   

and the world falls away
because you are the only person that matters

Mon amour...

You might become addicted to that rolling high
of everything she embodies
for you -
a challenge and a novelty, adventure and good fortune-
undeniably there is no one like her in the world -

yet suspicious
of all who came before and after 

presently
you may find yourself
passionately compelled 

to snatch her down and smash her up

claiming a piece for yourself
before she gets to thinking
she's got it all

with
or
without
you
