Ease Her Pain

I could see she was broken, It was so easy to tell. The look in her eyes Said her life had been hell. To get all of her heart, I knew that I could never. With all its broken edges, It was me it would sever. At the same time, I could see How much she needed someone To help ease some of her pain, And who wouldn't turn and run. I knew the love she gave Would be harsh and cold. If I was going to love her, I knew I had to be bold. I couldn't bring myself to leave And let all her sadness remain. She is lucky I'm broken enough That I enjoy all the pain.
