Unfolding

Combine binge watching Bones and a prompt that asks you to “Sweetness and Softness were old friends seldom heard from “ and this is what I came up with lol!

Sweetness and softness
Were old friends
Seldom heard from
An armor
Covered the layers
Hardening
Them
Into something
Unreachable.

She carried
With her
A pain that caused
Her
To cover up
Sweetness
And softness
In layers
An armor
To get her
Through pain
And grief.

He wanted to
Reach in
And peel past
The layers
To see her
Without the army
The beauty
That shines
From within
And slowly
Painfully
The layers
Unfolded
Showing the
Person
She had once been.
