she kept her feelings inside
perfectly fine not letting them
out.
she built her walls up high and
unbreakable.
she saw her friends get cheated
and deceived
and she decided she wasn't
going to bother with love.
when she met a boy she
refused to give into him.
but he forced it out of her.
forced the love out of her.
and she can't stop loving him now.
-k.d.
