There had been many
promises broken
and a growing number
of apologies not spoken

Yet, her heart kept reaching higher
hoping to get its fill
but disappointment  only served
to help strengthen her will

Every girl has the need inside her
to feel like she is treasured
but, the weak bond
has been completely severed

Now, he slowly steps back
and tries to understand
how she could be the one
holding the knife in her hand
