after that afternoon

After that afternoon
(Part 1)
Inhibitions shed;
dead skin.
How brittle
Is her composure,
How porcelain
Is her restraint.

She melts;
Lead unto flame.
No King's men
To make her whole.
The renovation
must be her own

(Part 2)
Sans reason
A mindless mindlessness
The precipice so inviting,
And she accepted.
Willingly.

But she will not admit.
Claims she was pushed.
But who else was there?

A beautiful failing,
She will admit.
But hardly well thought of.
To fall
To fall
To fall
To fail.

Exquisite.
