Her eyes are open

 

She has lived a life that you can not imagine 

the things that she has seen 

the things that she has done 

the things that were put on her shoulders that were never hers to carry 

She carried it all and kept breathing 

Kept smiling even pretending that she was fine

she survived things that should have killed her; but did not

She has been bruised broken and battered 

To save her heart she shut out the world

She has lived in a world of darkness

 out of fear, out of desperation 

out of sheer preservation

She just closed her eyes and shrank from the world

She couldn't handle any more evil

she believed in the words she heard around her

She was a liar, she wanted attention,  she was a slut 

Yes she was a slut, she had been having sex since she was 5

She was done with the world.

She stayed as far away from people as she could. 

Everyone knew she couldn't take any more pain.

Still they kept piling it on ignoring her every need

So silent she has been her entire life

She used to be so very far away,

 untouchable and terrified of everything. 

She lives in survival mode,

 people hurt her A LL.....THE....TIME

She has been in a hell that is unimaginable

That is what she knows. That is how she lived.

BUT........

Slowly ever so slowly she is coming back to life

She is beginning to trust me and even Mark. 

She is even in the same room, that is somewhat a miracle

She is far but she is in the light

She is scared but hopeful

She is terrified but no longer wants to be alone

She is brave she is so strong and

together we will do this

She is waiting with open eyes

We have to 

Because we were meant for so much more than

 we were ever given. 

Creed : Wash away those years 

I heart your heart.
