Frightfully Dependent
Location
She looked into the mirror and watched herself cry
Examined her scars, and let out a sigh
She wiped her own tears; lifted her own spirit
She's screaming inside, where no one can hear it.
With every new day, her mood stayed the same
Mixing sorrow with fear, and anger with shame
Her friends tried to console her when she wasn't so calm
But all she could manage was, "She's supposed to be my mom.."
After that day, she could no longer cry
For she felt her emotions beginning to die
So at home she stayed, the piano she played
Each note seemed to numb her, the pain seemed to fade.
As the years went by, this young woman grew stronger
And she feared, and she cried, and she suffered no longer
Because one day, she opened the door to her heart
And in waltzed a miracle, that soon took its part.
A man just as scarred, with a story to tell
Had captured her heart, and in love she fell.
His heart was so fragile, his purpose was pure
His voice.. so humble; she was never more sure.
He accepted her flaws, he lifted her chin
He told her he loved her for what was within
At that very moment, they both sealed the deal
This love is forever. Together, they'll heal.
She looked into his eyes and felt herself cry
Examined his scars, and let out a sigh
He then wiped her tears, and lifted her spirits
And they both said "I love you" so the whole world could hear it.
