I have spent so much time trying to put everything into words. Then I met this girl who made me realize how straight forward my life is. She allowed me to see the right move not by advice or even by what she says. It was who she was and who she would rather be- this poem is about her.
She is the girl you may never understand,
A deep scared past and bible in hand.
She dreams nightmares she wont confess,
Shades other than white on her wedding dress.
She can quote every verse in her defense,
In a hope god wont see her finger prints.
Her old friends look with judging eyes.
They only want whats beneath the lies.
She sleeps with her windows open,
Sets her alarm clock when its still broken.
She takes the lead as if shes chosen.
Surrounds her mistakes in a bed of roses.
She wakes up with a half worn smile,
Puts on clothes and a layer of denial
This is her chance to start a new
with hope that the truth doesnt show through
She dances for the world to see,
A pretty dress and a smile for me.
I cant pull you down and stop the show.
But please dont ask me to let go.
She walks with her soul wide open,
Lets her heart out when its still broken
Sits on stage, her mouth is frozen
Waits for her future until it closes
She walks with an angels wings,
Waiting to see what hope brings.
Tread softly when hiding the truth,
I will always be with the real you
