The wind is unforgiving here It blows against the strongest of foundations Until all that’s left is rubble There is no mercy in the air. The cold will seep beneath your skin Freeze your bones And steal what life you have left. And when it rains, it pours. The clouds hold no light. Their darkness enveloping every inch of your soul. The thunder shakes the very ground you walk on. Yet in the middle of it all sits a girl with a caged heart. It beats in rhythm with the thunder that rolls in the distance. Blood trickles from its cracks into the grass, beneath the soil. She wants no part of you. Yet..here you stand. You, without making much of an effort, broke through defenses so powerful that sometimes... Sometimes even she fell prey to her own design. You sit in front of her. You reach inside of your chest and place your own caged heart on the ground. With one word, you hold out your hand, scarred as much as the heart that rests between you, and you wait. Because like her, you’ve been hurt before. Hurt so deeply that you feel it with every breath. But she’s different. She...calls to you. As you sit there and wait, the clouds break, and sunlight streams onto tortured land. Progress

Her
The wind is unforgiving here It blows against the strongest of foundations Until all that’s left is rubble There is no mercy in the air. The cold will seep beneath your skin Freeze your bones And steal what life you have left. And when it rains, it pours. The clouds hold no light. Their darkness enveloping every inch of your soul. The thunder shakes the very ground you walk on. Yet in the middle of it all sits a girl with a caged heart. It beats in rhythm with the thunder that rolls in the distance. Blood trickles from its cracks into the grass, beneath the soil. She wants no part of you. Yet..here you stand. You, without making much of an effort, broke through defenses so powerful that sometimes... Sometimes even she fell prey to her own design. You sit in front of her. You reach inside of your chest and place your own caged heart on the ground. With one word, you hold out your hand, scarred as much as the heart that rests between you, and you wait. Because like her, you’ve been hurt before. Hurt so deeply that you feel it with every breath. But she’s different. She...calls to you. As you sit there and wait, the clouds break, and sunlight streams onto tortured land. Progress
