the quiet ones

they say be careful of the quiet ones
you know the ones
watching you from the distance
scoping you in the background
reading you deeply with
penetrating eyes
looking innocent
but full of surprise
watch out for her
she unassuming will
capture your curiosity
gently coax your honesty
and will kiss you straight to your soul
she will throw away (forget about knocking off) your socks
and making you ashamed to show your toes
she the quiet one
yes her
the one you glanced over the first time
b/c she wasn't speaking
the one you sheild your self from
b/c her gaze is all consuming
be careful
and never assume
the innocent one
will get to the you
of you
will know you
b4 u speak
she'll get you in that spot
your mask tried to cover...
they told you to watch out
for the quiet ones...
