Marshmallows

9 2 1
                                    


Burnt on the outside
Black and bruised
People only see
The
Hard outer shell
Closed off from the world
No one to trust
You're misunderstood
Blamed for the flames
Tears in your eyes
You felt all

a l o n e

Gooey on the inside
You're a real softie you know?
So misunderstood
Now there is light in your eyes
For once in your life
Your
Happy
Hopeful
Glad to be alive
You were close to your melting point
I'm glad you didn't fall into the flames

(A quote from my best friend: You like your marshmallows like you like your men)
