Broken girl.
A child that's laying silently on the floor
Do you watch her express her pain or run to her rescue
She doesn't need saving, just needs someone that will stay through the pain
She's shackled, broken, and torn
You can't see what she feels, only hears her silent groans
Her agony is self-reliant on the things you say
She needs constant clarification, she craves the knowledge of your need and appreciation for her
She needs love and not a fraction of it
She needs stability and not broken promises
She needs help but she can't be fixed
Or so she thinks
So I ask again do you rescue her or watch her break
Do you lend your hand and wipe her tears away
Do you tell her sweet nothings to ease her pain
Do you distract her from the case that separates
Do you stare, confused and unaware?
She's too scared to take your hand
Scared that once she gives in you will let go of her
You will inevitably let go
No one really can hold on for so long
So do you watch as she crumbles down, unable to steadily stand
Do you catch her at her first sign of weakness
Do you leave unable to witness the sight
The broken are simply better off with just being watched, from afar.
