Abigail

I know what it's like
to have something to offer,
hidden behind what they see
as something to offer.

Believe me, I know -
Your beauty? A tool
to bring men in tow,
in hopes one will explore
this uproar...

(Surging, this lurgee,
like heating ballooning air,
more and hotter every day -
now scalding!)

...inside your chest.

Before you burst.

  1. It all makes sense now. And this hit home. I miss you and our long conversations.....

  2. I like the repeat of offer in the first stanza, nicely worked, but what's "lurgee"?
