She lives in a world
of magic and miracles
where eyes shine
with exuberant glimmer

Though preserved
by blankets of skin
her inner-self has
much more to propose

Indeed there was reliance
but as the months progressed
it was subverted in silence

Watching her every move
the conceited man struggles
valiantly to suppress her malice
