She stood so tall
Every wave crashed down
Attempting to pull her in
Seducing her with lies of love
Every earthquake broke the ground
Cracking where she stood
Yet still
She stood so tall
Head up
Chin stubbornly raised
Teasing them to try and land a hit
But then they got smarter
The storm hid behind a face
Sweet eyes and a broken smile
She opened her soul
And they made a mistake
Not realizing the gift they had been given
A pure soul in a world of hate
A dream among everlasting nightmares
A ray of hope in a raging storm
And they tried to taint the soul
But instead it broke
After years of this battle
She cracked
And the only one to help is gone
Hidden within the maze of her mind
Locked with a heart of gold
Shielded by armor
And now they know
They know the true evil is them.
