Mystery Woman

I want to know HER story,
not the fabrication presented to the
public
embedded within the creases of her 
make-up---rather, underneath---that depth---
I want to know HER story,
how he broke you down and made you 
human.
That "love" word was prominent early in your vocabulary...now, look at the "you"
he has created. Tell me your story 
the words
the similes that lost their grandeur 
in description 
let those words become 
my 
monsters, and I can write it. 
write a natural end to "that" story.
