She

Folder: 
6-The Weird Stuff

Desperate youth,

never knowing the taste of love or the feel of beauty.

Finally got close to love but it stung like a swift slap.

It happened again and again

until the slaps began to leave her dazed.

Thought she'd found someone who'd be different,

but time and distance caused feelings to crumble.

Happiness began to seem unobtainable

as everything resembling love became worn and ragged

in time.

She felt the emotional stings that sometimes hurt

worse than a punch in the gut.

It was a hurt she was familiar with.

She'd known the harm words can do since childhood.

Unfaithfulness, mental exhaustion, pain....

It made her bitter, so bitter.

All she wants is someone who can relate,

someone who understands,

someone who can turn the bitterness into a sweet taste.



She feels like no one understands where she's coming from.

She feels like no one understands the way she knows God.

She feels like no one can relate to the desperation she's

known in her life.

She feels like no one can relate to the pain of past relationships.

She feels like no one understands why she thinks like she does.

She feels like no one understands why she acts like she does.

She's become a deep person.

She's become a loving person.

But her bitterness really makes my want to cry.

All she wants is someone who can relate,

Someone who understands,

Someone who can turn the bitterness into a sweet taste.
