Plain Maria

She channels her emotions diagonally,
always,
ditching their melting point.
She's in control,
always,
surrendering to the right enemy.
 
She limits her stares to one a day
and borrows the tears she sheds at public functions.
 
She starts the days with an inaudible whisper,
holding nothing back for their approaching end.
 
Never finishes anything she starts,
always,
baiting eternity.
Yet, she knows,
what begins will end; what never started
she'll have to endure forever...
