A Co-Worker

What I wish I could say to her

 

You glide around on roller skates, so swift and elegant

but the dark cloud circling around you shatters the sun I see

lashing out

words are clearly your weapon of choice

a sharp tongue piercing my enamored shell

perfection a standard you held

I heed this will only lead to disappointment and remorse

when you realize everyone has left you to be alone with your words

open those beautiful brown eyes

I pray you find the flaw that hides

the gem in you

Spoken i think this is the most beautiful poem i have read from you! I am so in love with thost last two lines: "I pray you find the flaw that hides the gem in you." Pure brilliance! Oh how I wish I had thought of that one myself!
