Getting To Know Her

Do you really want to get to know me better

you can see me falling apart under the pressure

nobody wants to get to know a girl 

who compulses and screams in her best dress

who can’t even keep her clothes on

because she trusted the man who knew her best

she thought love was the most beautiful thing in the world

she was that hopeful, faithful, never gonna leave you kind of girl

she would take a bullet, 

no, a goddamn army for her man

she smiled and danced, she laughed and giggled

the great deal of pain that fell on her shoulders each day

only drove her to insanity

but she felt love was a universal healer, 

an antidote to any killer

It fueled her, gave her strength each morning

she was not your average teenage girl

she was unaware of her glow, that smile that could bring a man to his knees

she could consume a guy from across the room, 

but her nose was always in a book,

her eyes hidden without a considering look

she dismissed and left your calls unreturned

but the day you listened to her story, 

your life was altered, changed forever

solitude was no longer a way of life

life was lucid, flashed before your eyes

you were made for her and only her

but maybe you don’t want to get to know her better
