Adventures in Love

The Divide

She is broken by choice not by cause

From the hairline fractures she never let heal

From the her imagination that she could not pause

She concocted a condition in which she can not feel

Painted a portrait in black and white

Put herself in the shadows, starved herself of light

She exists in fear of losing her self

To another who will rob her heart

And she struggles with her health

Famished for what she lacks in art

In one breath she is a strong tower

And in the next she is a blooming flower 

Deep inside there is an internal divide

She is a classic case of a hopeless romantic

Yearning to be rescued from her pride

Filled with logical ideas that make her frantic

A brutal battle of heart verse brain

With nothing to be lost and only love to gain
