She picked up a pen,
and her soul spoke.

How could your
brave eyes
have seen such
petrifying images?

I am closed off,
not because I am afraid of what you might do.

I fear I might scar your heart, in a way no lovers kiss may heal.

After all 'hurt people hurt people', right?

If you played chess as well as you played her,

You see the smile
not the scars.

You see the beauty
not the beatings.

You see the present
not the past.

So why throw your words at me,
when you could throw your arms around me?

If you could walk a mile in my shoes,
you would need to sit for a while.
Jade Welch Mar 2019
If only you could see
how your soul has captivated me;
maybe then you would love yourself the way I do.
