Analysis of Youthful, but…
In the restaurant
Illumined by the window
Smartly coiffed
And skin so clean.
She’s a looker
Shows advantage.
But do I know
Where she’s been?
Slits on wrists
Scars persevering.
Broken ribs
Not once, but twice.
Memories haunt
And foul the Life’s Path.
Walker stashed
And gait not nice.
