A Broken Girl

You think it’s beautiful for a girl to be broken
Because you see strength in her reflection
But you don’t see the damage in her shards

You think it’s beautiful for a girl to be broken
You can be the hero who rescues a damsel in distress
So you are confused when she rejects your help
Because no one can save her but herself

You think it’s beautiful for a girl to be broken
When you see how high her wall is
And you desire to be the first to break through it
But you can’t break through it
You’ll just break your heart

You think it’s so damn beautiful for a girl to be broken
Because you want to mend what cannot be repaired
But one day
If you were to accomplish all these things
And fix a broken girl
You’ll find a reason to leave her
And she’ll shatter into a million tinier pieces
than you first found her in
