Searching
By AAS
Its why she stays longer than she should, knowing how uneasy
his presence makes her feel.
It’s why the girl would spend
hours in a car
Arguing with a man she barely knows.
She could be killed.
She is aware that she can end it buy opening the door and leaving,
but it makes her stay.
Its why she goes back when they hurt her so.
His kindness, his touch, his love only to feel that way Again. His glorious
lies of a life together a beautiful picture-a masterpiece Painted with her
blood.
She has nothing left but the hugs and kisses from strangers promising love for
the night.
She learned not to cry or scream but to live with her heartache in silence
She remembers when she had promised
Her heart to only one,
Her tears aren’t of frustration or pain but for love.
It’s why she looks into unknown men’s eyes each night searching…searching…time
and time Again for the one who will love her right
This time he won’t…
