She cannot look into your eyes <br />Afraid you'll see what lies inside <br />Imperfection, pain, wounded and grief <br />She is the girl with the broken wing <br /> <br />If the walls had ears then you would hear <br />vibrations of fear and music of tears <br />like the sound of cracking glass goes her heart <br />distorting the rhythm of its beat, she is the girl with the broken wing <br /> <br />In her eyes you will see love <br />she cannot trust her heart will fight <br />much is lost, she is bleeding life <br />She is the girl with the broken wing <br /> <br />She cannot fly high in the sky <br />Her demeanor vulnerable in sight <br />She cannot run away to hide, cannot stand firm to fight <br />As she falls from the sky <br />who will stretch out their hands in time <br />to catch the girl with the broken wing<br /><br />Cathy Phew<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/girl-with-the-broken-wing/
