Thorns

She is alone
Hoping to be loved
By a man

The one who loves her
For all she is
Good, bad and ugly

Wounded in battle scars 
Across her fragile heart
Her mind traumatized 

Builds her highest defense
With hidden traps
Not get into her again

Prosecuting trespassers 
With sharp tongue 
Attacking
In mighty rage

She is tired
But cannot help it
Not wanting 
To be hurt
And not to be betrayed 

Though idea of diminishing love
Still craving and hoping

Being hold
Looking at her eyes
Everything will be alright 
Safe in his arms

Sorrow glides down her face
Every now and then
Afraid
Meeting her end
Never have a chance being loved

people that love unconditionally will always be scared and hurt, but it's worth the hurt cause love heals when it's real at the end of the day
