Us and Her

She sits quietly,
morosely staring at a blank space on the wall.
The mirror that fills the space,
reflects her tear stricken face.
Words of others,
flow never ceasing  through her brain.
“you are an ugly whore”
“no one could ever love you”
Her self esteem drops,
yet another level gone.
One more and she will be like us,
insecure, frozen
willing to do anything for love.
Maybe she will be more like me,
the slut who cheats.
Or more like you
the one with major commitment issues.
See we went through this too
once you change we'll be there for you.
Her tear stricken face is now dry.
She stands with us now.
Her issues we made up to change her.
Each word she hears,
embedding themselves,
deep into her heart.
Her heart grows colder
she has a barrier.
No one can crack
a barrier thicker than 50 brick walls.
But one day someone will see through
and break down her walls.
She will be lost to us then.
It wont be to late for her
like it is for us.
