Literature Text

She has a shell,
Beneath her skin,
No one is allowed to know,
No one gets in.
Sometimes she lets someone in,
Lets them stay for a while,
Like a test of their intentions,
Like an emotional trial.
One of those she let in,
Broke her from the inside,
She felt like there was nothing left,
Almost like she’d died.
Now she’s reinforced her shell,
Not wanting anyone to see,
But someone’s determined to get through,
Me.
Open your heart, girl,
And I’ll open mine,
You and I together,
We’ll be just fine.
I’ll never break your heart,
Never steer you wrong,
I’ll be by your side,
Helping you along.
I give you my word,
And I’ll take it to my grave,
If I ever have to rescue someone,
I hope you’re the one I save.
I know you don’t want to get hurt again, girl,
So you have your shell of steel,
But I’ll make sure when I’m with you,
It’s the best thing you’ll ever feel.
