Poem 8: Gold

She was a wild one, you see,
Nothing like you and me.
She shot for the stars,
And had a great big heart.
She held up a wall,
Hiding from the pain of it all.
Her heart she did not rent,
Her soul, she never lent.
Anything she would give,
If it meant someone else could live.
Her mind was a was a camp, of sorts,
Where her true feelings hide in forts.
But who's to say,
She won't start loving today?

There is a boy out there,
Who can love her, if she finds him somewhere.
Their life together would be gold,
With a love that could never grow old.
The boy was honest,
And always sought out for a conquest.
He loves the very best,
To hell with the rest.
He can be with her some day,
When her walls go away.
