Is she an emotional girl?
Or is she an emotional wreck?
Images of the past are tell-tale signs in the present.
Lies in the now, are truths from then.
Would she let you in if you asked a question?
Or would she break down and break away?
Standing tall she crouches alone,
Smiling grandly, silently she weeps.
Mystified by an illusion of being able to trust,
Grounded by a shattered heart.
Does she have the perfect physical form?
Or is it marred by bitterness and self-destruction?
Can she exist on her own?
Or does she need the past to staedy her frail being?
Images of perfection, determination and strength
Hide a fragile heart and a petrified soul.
Does she trust herself enough to trust another?
Or will the wall she built never crumble?
Telling tales of happiness,
Whilst thinking thoughts of sorrow.
Is she lying to the world?
Or is her truth a stranger even to herself?
Does she know she's loved?
Does she know how to love?

Obliterate the past, forget the future, relish the present.
Heart of bitterness, slow your fiery circulation.
Sleep weary eyes, and open your soul.
Learn to trust, try to love, deal with the past, move on.
Forget the hurt, remember the smiles.

The way to love anything is to realize it might be lost. author unknown
