Bulletproof


He danced

Right into her heart

Cold and closed off

She wasn't looking

Didn't even know

What she was missing

The holes

That lined her soul

She had no clue

What to do

With her misery

She kept the pain

Tucked far away

Out of sight

Out of mind

She told herself all the time

Until he danced

Right into her heart

 

Shy boy

Handsome man

Big brown eyes

Soft hands

He drifted in

And never left

In a quiet night

He held her tight

And she went over the edge

Fell in love

All it took

Was one look

Someone to see her

Her soul

And the tears in it

And now he's filling her up

With his love

He danced 

Right into her heart

And promised her the world

 

Tough girl

Warmer every day

Made of nails and steel

Now she knows

What is real

And what is fiction

He's a work of art

And she can't take her eyes

Off him

Off those big brown eyes

The truth

In the sea of lies

She's found something worth holding on to

Something just hers

Something bulletproof
