You operated with a callous shell
Not wanting to be hurt
To feel so secure
You became something utterly incongruent
You lashed out at me with words that cut me
With eyes that pierced my soul.

I understood you
And I stuck by you
Your words of hatred at me
Hurt me beyond words
But I stuck by you still.

Somehow you found yourself
A text to me opened your soul
You told me all you wanted.

The broken will and can be healed.
