she
was not
your typical
girl next door.
to begin with,
she had a name
that sounded like
a bottle of cheap perfume.
but,
she did have
the knack of knowing things,
the most
important of which
is that nearly everything
in her life started with an ending.
just
not this.
she knew
this was a door
that would not stay open long.
it
was now,
or
never.
