Poised and perfect
She looked divine
Standing there on the corner
Of twelfth and nine
Flawless and fashionable
Causing all eyes to divert
A forbidden temptress
In her blue pencil skirt
Dignified and delicate
A picture perfect scene
A shame who she really was
Would forever go unseen

Writing prompt: Blue pencil boulevard
They disintegrate like ash
Fluttering away on lofty breezes
I am nothing and they are always something
Something glittery and unattainable
Pieces of a whole that I will never have
Parts of a picture-perfect world that I will never see
There for a split second in time
Then drifting away at warp speed
Friends are often like that
Hold them close while you can
