    Something About Fragility
    The smile you just gave me,
    it was as gentle
    and as powerful
    as light falling snow.
    Your angularity, all bones and skin,
    it sometimes gets ruined
    by your softness
    and your rounded edges.
    That look in your eyes,
    I think it might've melted 
    the layer of ice and steel
    I keep up for instances like this.
    You're just like a baby bird,
    a snowflake, a twig.
    There's something about fragility
    that draws people in so quick.

    This is really nice! I can really see what you're describing here. It's true, people are attracted to innocence and fragility.

    This is true. Thanks for reading(:

    Poetry comes nearer to vital truth than history.
