A Heart Of Gold

She is more than a pretty face

She has more to give, More to lose

For all to see,

A heart of gold.

You are perfect for me, you are the one.

He places his hands over her heart, as-he

finds a way to unravel each seam.

Of the perfectly woven walls that she holds up to protect the.

Underneath lies a broken soul that sings loud

to an unhearing broken girl.

She gives it all to him.

Each time, letting him in-to her world, She did not put up a fight.

Whispers of “I love you” coming through in waves,

leaving it up to him to make her days.

Only when she is without him, does she fear the night.

This is real love, she is told.

I can not do this, but she will because she loves him.

Putting nothing above him, not even her god.

Her first love.

Blinded by the beautiful with ugly intentions.

He says all of the right things, while showing her all of the wrong ways.

Making her the last to be mentioned.

Mistaking love for lust.

To his words, her eyes light up but her heart flutters the bulb.

She mutters, “ I can not give up.”

There she shatters, he holds up each piece.

Admiring the art he created.

Her unable to speak,

Ignoring the signs

Muted and undone, He’s in control.

This is…

Loving a man that can do no wrong.
