__Her Plan A was simple__ — Don’t have kids too young, so she invested everything into Plan B: watching her step, protecting her peace, staying ahead of what the world might expect of her. _That was always her plan, see._ ...__not willing to risk it all for Plan D__. She’s still out here hoping this one might be the one to drop down on one knee — and not just another one wanting her on her knees. So tired of bruised knees; from praying to God for someone real, while a man’s bruised ego is the only thing she’s expected to heal. _...she just wants to be free._

She Had a Plan
_Tick Tick_; goes my heart in the line of a drumbeat whereas I stray away from long hugs – __it’s an awkward heat__ A stray dog shows love to any hand that helps them eat, so sure — call me a treat when you say so I’m sweet... Just don’t toss me out on the street; or throw my heart over the waters of selling me a dream – __just to make it skip a beat.__ _Hiss, hiss_; is how even the sweetest of kisses can go – giving a lover a part of my soul – stepping out with my love; __Being so much like their sole__. Meets and greets; those events and your people – but if I see they’re not good for your soul, Don’t expect me to tolerate them at all. Those are the snakes waiting to bite you, and their venom will poison us both. _Click, click_; are usually those friendships that won’t last – blind mice, never calling you out; for the good times to last Friendships made for the hype, the interest of camera smiles, but never a picture of genuine trust. Your attention to their problems is a must, but paying attention to your problems is too expensive – and that just cheapens love, and I doubt they would have a problem not showing any value for us - And in their many smiles, is a smile of joy that we didn't last. But then again, I’m not in love – but if I was, I guess these sorts of guidelines should be a must for us. To make a love that holds onto __loyalty, truth, and mutual trust.__
