“
I wish I could stop after looking at the facade,
Instead of always peering at what lies beyond
It’s that inquisitive care that I cannot subdue
That concern for the pain that reflects in her eyes
That draws me in to want to ease her anguish
And leaves me ravaged when she finds her wings
And seeks out another that only sees her facade
So that the elaborate defences she can continue to maintain…
Anything to protect her fragility
”
(Cynically Jaded)
