Her Pain


I have learned through the rhythm 

That flows through the words 

I have seen what scars her beauty

I know the pain behind her smile

I have thought of her strength 

Then I found her weakness 

As I wrote out the events leading up

As I elegantly documented her pain

I saw the trauma and the loss

At first it seemed dramatic 

Then I felt her devastation when he left

She

Broke

Now I understand 

A boy can love you completely 

But a boy can also rip your heart in two

If you just keep smiling the world may remain

Clueless
