Don't bother her

She's hiding scars

Covering up her map

To self control

Etched in those

Little white lines

'

Don't distract her

She's concentrating hard

Trying to keep herself

Covered up

While we all

Watch from a distance

'

Don't catch her eye

She's mulling over memories

And you can see them reflected

They're enough

To give anyone

Nightmares

'

Don't talk to her

She didn't find her way

To self control

With her little white lines

And now she doesn't know

Not to bite the hand that feeds her

'

Don't get too close

She'll shatter

And leave little pieces of glass

All over your heart

On her way out

Without a whisper of goodbye

'

Don't tell her you love her

Keep your own secrets

Because she won't share hers

Even though you can see

And you've read

Her little white lines
