She is the girl who could always look you in the eye
a huge smile to greet the strangers and friends alike
Her eyes are merry and laugh lines present themselves with each burst of mirth
A flawless face is only a facade
concealing the storm, raging beneath those sparkling eyes
They sparkle like diamonds
and have become as cold as the precious stone
the process of heat and pressure formed these beautiful eyes
A vow to be strong has hardened her heart
not willing to be hurt again,
she's made herself to be without fault
and invisible
The shame and pain haunts her eyes every time she looks in the mirror
Dearest Daughter, there is no need to fear
My grace and love are sufficient
He can no longer hurt you
You are mine.
This promise has been heard many times
the reply?
