Verges

peto

Returning to play she's had serious game 

Since relinquishing undeserved portions of blame 

Says she don't feel herself looks exactly the same 

The girl on the verge of my life 

 

Took the world on her shoulder and held down the fort

When still singed from being burned by a kangaroo court

Sailed away in her mind drifting past every port

The girl on the verge of my life 

 

She had trust in abundance profound her respect 

His assault on her senses was swift and direct 

A flamethrower to the heart he had sworn to protect 

The girl on the verge of my life 

 

In a star's twinkling shadow she's trying her best 

To get rid of the traps now she's shot of the pest 

Can't connect to admirers with young in the nest 

The girl on the verge of my life 

 

She'll appear now and then throwing life given style 

Over others who haven't embraced in a while 

When she offered an inch I had snatched at the mile 

The girl on the verges of life

      'His assault on her senses was swift and direct
      'A flamethrower to the heart he had sworn to protect '

              I feel like you see all her struggles and pain but can also see her determination and strength. You see the beauty in all of the ugliness she faces.

              A flamethrower to the heart he had sworn to protect"

              Beautifully written and undeniably, brutally relatable.
              Most times we are not looking for someone to swoop in and save us. To fix us. We are looking for someone capable of acknowledging everything you have captured in this poem and loving us enough to fix themselves so they stop doing this to us. Not just a magical fix all.
              So beautifully written and truly capturing the depth of situations without too many words. Wonderfully done.
              Half of the battle and usually the hardest part is finally facing yourself and recognizing you are the problem and loving yourself and the other enough to take the steps to fix it.
