What's gotten better? What is here that wasn't here before? There is something in front of me that will not unfold. Something calmly warm yet sweetly cold. Something is better. They've made it better. A Girl named Starla. a sweet one with many words to say and many scars to hide behind kind words. One who adores to love but confuses in to be loved. She who silently waits for one or more saviors that she never knew she needed. She who is kind, She who is humble, She who loves. She who is alone. She who is yet to feel a single twinkle washing away all the pain right before her eyes. The girl who waited at the doorstep of love for continuous years to feel her own warmth from someone else She waited until she thought it was over. Until sparkles caressed her mind till it was too good to handle. She opened her eyes and in front of her was a cold warmth. People. People who looked for her. Was it real? Could she feel the gentle hands hold her together? "Can I feel their warm hands holding me together?.." She who is I.
