she wanted someone

who would stare into her eyes,

and see her broken soul,

so their broken souls,

could try to fit their jagged pieces together,

in an effort to become something other

than the chaotic mess they were.

she wanted someone

to heal her mind.

her mind was loud enough on the inside already,

no need for it to be screaming on the outside.

the only thing,

she thought,

that her mind was good at doing,

was thundering, and booming,

and consuming the remnants of sanity

left behind.

she wanted someone

to shield her from her thoughts,

and protect her from the world.

she was such a gullible child,

and we were living in such a harsh world.

she wanted someone

to take her to the river bank

and make daisy crowns

with her,

like she used to when

she was a gullible child,

unaware

of the harsh world laid before her.

daisy crowns

the symbol that embroidered the naïve nature

that she used to wear so well.

she wanted someone

to love her,

because damn,

she was so sick of losing

all these remnants

of hope,

and sanity,

and thoughts that made sense

to anyone else.
