You cannot imagine her hurt
You can't see beyond her crisp and clean clothes
The heart streaked wholly with dirt
The children she's borne can attest to her strength
The tear stains attest to her pain
The thin smile she offers you passing her way -
Faint sunshine just after much rain
She's guarded and trust is not easy at all
Though unseen her bruises are real
She's stowed all her feelings she's made them all safe
Her passion for romance is sealed
"So cold and unfeeling" you judge from afar
"Aren't women to be tender beings?"
She stares through her loving and mistreated eyes
Unknowing, you label her fiend
