DETACHED

the girl with the spark

She has a spark in her eyes,

an infinite fire that you can't blow out,

or extinguish

I never saw it then, but I see it

now.

You could hurt her,

but oh, you couldn't break her

And I know, because I saw others try

Life was never kind to her.

Family broken,

brothers and sisters going down a

dark dark road.

But not her, not the girl with the fire

It burned brighter, and I'll never regret the day

I put myself in front of her,

became her friend.

Shared my fair amount of harsh words,

from the other girls.

You could hurt us

But you couldn't break us,

And I know, because I saw others try.

The girl with the infinite fire.

She's out there fighting.

So many surgeries,

so much pain.

She got a spark in her eyes,

and a strength you can't imagine.

A/N: Dedicated to...well...someone who is very strong.

Another poem I'll be editing is, but this is it pretty much.
