Ghost Town
Divided by two houses.
One is her captor.
One is her savior.
She has been hurt.
Not knowing who to trust.
Not knowing who to let in.
Her life seeming like a void.
As if she’s separated from everything.
Forever walking in a ghost town.
One day something happens.
Something changes.
She doesn't know how to react.
A random guy appeared.
She was interested so she approached.
He thought he had died and was visited by an angel.
Time passes and they get to know one other.
They fall in love within days.
She is afraid of making it official though.
To drag him in her despair.
To show him her dark passenger.
To let him see her hell.
But she doesn't realize.
For him he’s ready to accept it.
To walk through the muck hand and hand.
This is something she thought she would never know.
Having someone who truly loves her.
Who doesn't care about the surroundings just the destination.
One day her two houses collide.
Throwing her mind into a spiral.
Not knowing what to do.
He saw her distress and tried to help.
He tried and tried but nothing worked.
So he did something he never did and gave her space.
That was the opposite of what she needed.
She thought he was like the others.
That he walked out when it go tough.
Her life went on and so did his.
Both of them getting worse.
Always feeling like something was missing.
Then he messaged her asking how she was.
She was in shock thinking he wanted nothing to do with her.
He explained how he thought he was being a burden and gave her time.
They rejoiced knowing what they thought was wrong.
The love they had for each other got stronger.
Nothing can stop them now.
So is she ready to open up?
He shakes it off knowing if not now then soon.
For he want’s to walk along side her in her ghost town.
