Alone
Shattered
Numb
Weak
A soulless girl
Stood in the shower
Tears descended
Hate crawled
Her eyes glossed over
Her hair bright blonde
Her lips casted upwards
She was a mere pawn
Her laughter was loud
Her stories gave light
She took extra time
To please the crowd
Constant smile
Jokes all the time
Good grades
Team captain
Nobody saw
The secrets she drew
Or the tears she wept
To herself, in her room
Behind closed doors
Under a pillow
Her cries unheard
The pain cast a shadow
She lay awake at night
Her mind never rested
She stared at the wall
As she saw her regrets
The door cracked open
A light shined through
A glimmer of hope
Someone new
One chat led to more
She smiled for real
Strength filled her
She opened the door
Bare in the light
A warm, loving smile
Crystal blue eyes
Sweet cherry lips
He took a step in her room
Scared by what he saw
Broken glass everywhere
This isn't her at all
Before she could say a word
His hands were holding glass
The pieces fused together
He forgave her past
She stood there so confused
As a feeling arose within
Warmth consumed her
She felt human again
Her cheeks turned red
A real smile appeared
Her forcefield drained
She had no clue what to feel
She finally felt complete
Satisfied with life
No longer invisible
She gave him the key
He saw the real girl that day
The laughter and the smile
Everything was genuine
For the first time in a while
