Would you still love her if you knew she still cries herself to sleep?
Would you still love if she told you she’s afraid of the dark because of what hides in it?
What if she told you the truth about the scars on her wrists?
What if she told you the truth about what her bracelets hide from you?
Would still love her if she told you sometimes she still wants to die?
What if she told you that she use to puke because he scared her so much?
What if she told you about how he would yell at me for things she didn’t do until she cried and wanted to die?
What if she told you about when he hit her across my back and his print was left their?
What if she told you why she’s really am scared of authority?
Would you still care if she told you sometimes she really wanted the bus just to hit her?
Would you still want to be with her if she told you her mind's not free?
If she showed you why she can’t talk loud?
If she told you why when people yell she starts to cry?
If she told you why she can’t disappoint?
If she showed you why she always tries to be the best?
Why she always look at the ground?
Would you still love her if she told you my step-dad beat her with his words like I was his personal punching bag?
My question is would you still love her with all my flaws or is she still that much of a burden?
