What's normal like?


She could not be normal if she tried Her intentions for perfection, She would not see of her undoings Her heart, quick to trust, painfully bled Who knew she would come to be so tied? Like a widow, her eyes bled ice She learned! A suitor came, Her foolish eyes gladly enjoyed the dark paradise She kept her eyes shut for seasons! A day came with a nightmare, it haunted! On the inside, She felt a life depend on her Was she ready to nurse? You learned! Her tears made scars in her eyes, she promised not to forget But her memory let her down The suitor had soiled her naivity and vanished into the wind! Yet, she sought after him.
