But Strong

Lies cover her,
In warmth.
Protection from hateful words.
A longing when a touch together,
Bitterness,
From her eyes,
But in his
An innocence
Our world needs.
We need that.
In a world of cruelty, pain
Suffering.
It chases the
Sinners down,
While the angels
Take it as it comes.
His eyes give an angel strength,
A sinner
Tolerance.
Tolerance.
Tolerance.
But her hands,
Cold
Hard.
Breaking walls down.
She is
A friend I
Don't
Know.
But I've learnt
That like many friends.
Her secrets,
Soft like his.
I don't want to know them.
Because that means
I'll
Get
To know
Her.
And the worst part about understanding someone,
Is understanding all their
Sorrows.
And that means feeling
Sorry.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Don't play with the knives,
Same as her heart.
She doesn't like this attention.
This is never said, but
Fragile in a way,
But strong.
But strong.
But strong.
But even if her heart is strong,
I know he
Will
Realize
It.
And so,
I
Know
He
Will
Try
To
Break
It.
I just hope she sees it coming.
