Human beings are fragile and need love <br />In this painful existence that begins with a slap <br />And often spirals downward into abuse <br />From the people who should desire to protect us. <br />Unkindness accumulates at school <br />And in the workplace, <br />You lose your original face <br />Of innocence and joy. <br /> <br />I’ve met sad girls I’ve wanted to kiss, <br />Rock them in my arms for eternity, <br />Remove the emotional scars of their history, <br />But I know, such scars never leave, <br />They’re deep razorblade-like cuts into the soul. <br /> <br />I haven’t learned yet <br />If I’m attracted to troubled and tragic girls, <br />Or if that is the only type of girl <br />I should expect.<br /><br />Uriah Hamilton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sad-girls/
