Rhetorical mystery
A man comes into your life, promising the world.
You take that chance, for curiosity is a luxury you can afford.
The smarter needs u do not want, so you take the risk of knowing.
On this man’s lips you read love.
He reads lust on yours.
After many times of wonder, and of many times of thought, you begin to think that he is always being rhetorical.
’’Do you love me?’’ he says.
You say yes, knowing he is being rhetorical, what does he expect you to say.
’’Do you need me?’’ he says.
You say of course, he is being rhetorical once again, what does he expect you to say.
This man came into your life asking questions you knew the answer to, but did you really know? Or was it the fact that you knew he was being rhetorical.
On this man’s lips u did not read love.
On his heart u did not read happiness.
But on his soul you read liar.

this is really good for at 14 year old. I like it a lot and its her own style of her own. Tell her she should keep writing and to be shy to let others knws about her lovely writing. Trust me, I'm just as shy, but if I have something I want to share I let it fly. ^_^ Again, lovely write.
