When she needed you the most you came running to her rescue
Found her layin on the floor vulnerable, insecure and lost
Looked down and said ‘don’t worry little one, I’ll protect you’
And a once warm and welcoming heart quickly turned to frost
She built you up in hopes that someone would knock you down
And every other brick was a reminder of the pain
But the person she hoped would come along has not been found
So she only hopes she didn’t do it all in vain.
You kick her when she opens up and encourage her with every man she rejects
So she tries to push you away and let you know how much she hates you
For allowing you to grow so strong that it fills her soul with regrets
And now although she wants to, she can’t seem to escape you
You keep her sheltered because you know the ways love could harm her
But being consumed with lonelieness also makes her suffer
She’s confined in solitude so what good is all the armor
If all it does is prevent anyone from ever being able to love her?

Sounds like a very personal approach to writing. I’m honestly lost as to rather this is you expressing your own trials and tribulations or if it is just your interpretation of someone else’s. Maybe it is totally fictional within your personal life but either way it is very real to many females. I applaud your ability to channel into that mindset and write it out so plain that it is in essence beautiful writing.

Rough, real, painful, and beautiful. Poetry at its best. I admire your ability to take something that painful and write it in a beautiful way.
