she had not stars
but galaxies
in her eyes
and her mouth
(when it wasn’t spilling
poetry and dirty words)
was pure electricity
she never painted
inside the lines
because she was too busy
sketching the masterpiece
that was her life
she lived by one rule—
love.
and while she may have been
a lot to handle
you will learn that she is
everything
to lose
