Can You Blame Her

Can you blame her? Can you blame her for falling in love? For believing every single word? For believing in safety? Manipulated, you see? Her decisions were not her own. Forced into the things she disagreed with. Beaten when she did not please. Can you blame her? Can you blame her for seeing the good in the bad? For believing there is a good in the bad? For believing in love? Who wouldn't want love? She wanted to be loved. Cared for at the least. Following her heart, she fought her hurt. Her laugh was loudest in the crowd. Her cries were the strongest in the pillow she screamed in. Just till she gave up on herself. Right before she took what her mother didnt want her to take, he found her. His sweet smile soothed her heart. His gentle eyes, giving her a new laugh. His voice, calming the storm that rumbled inside. The craving for his touch, making her believe again. Can you blame her? Can you blame her for such an existence? For seeing only the good in him? For seeing what she always wanted? His compliments filled her heart. His words showing more affection than she has ever seen with her own eyes. She cried. But can you blame her? Can you blame her for the distance? For the miles that stretched between them? For the time it would take to get to him? She believed him. She loved him. Her heart felt free again. As if she can fly with no worries about the rain. But can you blame her? Her smile was brighter than the sun. Her love poured out like the river into the sea. Can you blame her? The talk became a minimum. Not even an our a day anymore. She worried but still believed. Can you blame her? For falling in love? For being played? He... broke her heart. Moved on so quickly. betrayed, she broke. Can you blame her? For trying her hardest? For doing what he wanted just so he can be pleased? She cried. Her tears silent in the dead of night. Her heart shattering and stomach filled with a dim fire that was soon to run out. Can you blame her? He was the sun to her roots. He was the pencil to her paper. The peace to her chaos. The light to her darkness. .... He was the smile that came to her heart. But even that was taken from her. Can you blame her? For the hurt she felt? For the lies she fed on desperately? He was all she wanted. She hated him for that. Hated him for becoming everything she wanted and then stealing it away from her. Just with a snap of his fingering... Can you blame her??? Cause i can... I sure as hell can...
