Her screams break the silence around her, But they are never heard by others. She lies in bed... her pillows collecting her tears. Her heart has been shattered..... Shattered by the one meant to protect it, To love it, to provide for it. The baby lays next to her sleeping peacefully.... Unaware that one of its' lifegivers has left it, And in that leaving has left wreckage and a void... She wonders what she did to deserve getting beaten, and cheated on.. As she thinks, the heart that was once whole, Becomes a briar patch of thorns which grows into a wall... Only one small hole remains for access to her heart... That hole is for her child. She grits her teeth hard and vows "Never again!" With that vow made, she moves on with her life, but...... Behind those thorns lives a woman beautiful, Filled with love screaming to get out. She ignores the screams coming from the woman on the other side, Dismissing her as weak, and foolish for wanting and believing in love. She turns to occasional flings, and semi-serious relationships, But always running, before anything can go wrong or gets too close. She wonders what's wrong with the men that come into her life.... They treat her like trash, Yet, she refuses to look in the mirror at herself, for she knows The truth as she looks into her own eyes...... She has forgotten how to be a lady. She has settled for less then what is real. She has become what she use to despise..... One who considers themselves just an object, a toy for men, To be played with, and discarded when the man looses interest, And finds something new.. She has settled for a fake life and lies. She has forgotten she is beautiful.. That she is valuable and worthy of real love. She has met one that has been nothing, but kind, And has stayed, even though she has treated him Like he was less then human. She wonders about him. As she wonders.................... He goes home and cries for her. He hurts, because his heart is filled with love for her. He stays at her side loving her, hoping, dreaming, And praying for the day, That she will burn down the thorns, and allow him in, So that he can shower her with love, and show her that it is possible To have real love, and that the woman on the other side, Was not weak and foolish, but was needed to make her truly strong, And resilient, and more beautiful then any other treasure that A man could find. He loves her........ So he waits, but he knows if he has to me must walk, And search once more........... He prays he will not need to.
