Her Wish

Looking into the glossy stone
As light bounces off it
Behold a perfect being stands
An African beauty

Her face unseamed
A glowing countenance
A scarless species

The precious fluid
Runs down her cheeks
Her wishes
The without were the within

Broken within
Yet without a perfect creation
Wails on the inside
Yet without a captivating smile

Take me back
Back to the childhood days
Days that my only wounds
On my knees

Take me back
In tears she pleads
