She

She was like a wild mustang, full of spirit and independence. It was only when he came along that she changed. He fenced her in and then left with the key. She turned to another boy to set her free of her cage, but he only served to tie her to a post, even more restricted than before.

I saw how they broke her spirit, and now she's an empty shell of what she once was. I would do anything to set her free, but she doesn't seem to trust anyone anymore. She used to be so beautiful and fierce. I only wish I could help her. I would do anything to see that once radiant smile grace her face again…just once.

My name is Carsten Becker; I'm a German exchange student in the US, and ever since I first laid eyes on her exactly two months ago, I fell in love.
