her hair covered her eyes
her skin was pale
her fingers were shaking
her limp body frail
his arms were strong
his eyes a clear blue
he saw her struggle
knowing just what to do
he'd seen this before
in fact all too often
he wanted to help
for the shock to soften
he saw her scars
that lie upon her wrist
but something about her
he couldn't resist
he'd fallen in love
with the girl from afar
but can love ever fix
the wound from a scar?
