You were new and unguarded, Thoughtlessly discarded - You gave yourself for what? Broken and badly shaken, Used once and forsaken, You could only cut. A lifetime later, found, - Your sharp edges were round, Gorgeous as a pearl, A woman so diff'rent than One mistreated by a man - That shattered, sharp-edged girl. It must be a gripping tale. I wish to know each detail - How you became a queen. What happened, I'd like to know, But your beauty does not show Those long years in-between.
