A creature of beauty searching her mind,
trying to make sense of the insanity.
Carelessly treated by a broken bottle
now the diamond is soiled.
The mind decieves telling her lies
making her doubt her own worth.
Years of trust crumble to rubble
walls will rise from debris.
Weighed by sense of responsibility
death becomes an unaffordable luxury.
In her mind she knows nightmares are real
our worst fears can come true.
But, this truth she has known in her heart,
we're strongest in our weakest hour.
As sure as a wilted rose is reborn in spring
a broken heart will mend with a new love.
