Dark Vibes, Good Writes

Her impenetrable soul is built through fear and devastation,
What he does not see is how badly her heart is broken.
The limbs she’s managed to hold together,
how bruised and battered her skin shows,
beneath the iron shields she puts on.
She refuses to cry for help, for she knows better.
Day after day, people witness her strength.
They see her courage without knowing
just what it is that made her that way.
He wants to feel her strength, he wants to see,
just what she can withstand before she bends.
He can’t even see the darkness in her eyes
without trying to pry it out from her.
Little does she know, that once he does
When he teaches her that she can love,
Once she allows herself to drop her shield
There will be nothing but the fear,
the devastation… all over again.
He never wanted to love her,
He had no desire for them to be
two people in love, but instead,
he wanted to find her darkness,
He wanted to learn her strength.
Not for the sake of repairing her
But to break her heart again.
