Fragile

 

Like a fall leaf left too long upon the ground,
As an eardrum bombarded by an overwhelming sound,
A newborn baby in his mother's arms,
Her nipples moments after breastfeeding,
Skin uncovered during frigid weather,
A feather caught un the midst of a strong wind,
The mindset of a person on his deathbed,
Food finding its way on the plate of a famished person,
Children's psyche after hearing their parents fighting,
hollerin', and cursin.
Like a cake freshly baked right out of the oven,
A young girl's vulnerability after she has told a man she loves him,
And at this moment, she has told me such.
Anxious to see if the similes and metaphors are true;
Is also her virginity.fragile?
