Array ( [sid] => 17975 [catid] => 1 [aid] => Mick [title] => Broken Girl [time] => 2003-05-22 21:05:00 [hometext] => This is about the 3 people that have probably had more of an influence on my life and the person I am today than anyone else in the world, and how each of them contributed to what this poem is about: my ex best friend Sam and how losing her affected me; my best friend and kindred spirit Emily and how finding her affected me; and Dean, the love of my life, and how finding him set me free. [bodytext] => A broken girl
Is what she left of me
Down on the floor
With the something you saw in me
I lost myself
And left it all behind
Till you gave me
Something I never thought I'd find

I learned to stand up on my own
But all the hurt inside me took a hold
I put up these defensive walls
To guard my heart against the bitter cold
I took a look in the mirror
Realized I'm not who I wanted to be
I wanted that little girl back
'Cause this girl doesn't cry - that can't be me!

This broken girl
Found a kindred spirit
I saw myself
In every tear and knew it fit
I found myself
Even when it hit me
Of what I did
And of just how bad she hurt me

I locked myself away inside
Hiding and crying within my own head
One tiny light among the dark
And I felt her in every tear I shed
So I set out to find the key
That special someone who would set me free
But I just couldn't seem to fit
Right in my own skin with anybody

A broken heart
Is what was left of me
Down on my luck
So I took what you offered me
You loved this girl
But I didn't see how
Then I fell too
And was amazed at what I found

Love echoed in my ears so loud
I knew I finally had something real
When I stepped back to take a look
I realized with you I could just be me
And no longer did I feel lost
'Cause beautiful you, you love me for me
Now because of you I feel whole
That little girl is free and this is me [comments] => 3 [counter] => 283 [topic] => 21 [informant] => MoonlitAngel [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Lifepoems )

To guard my heart against the bitter cold

Wow! This is such an amazing poem, and it describes perfectly how I felt when I lost two of my best friends, gained two soulmates in the form of other best friends, and found my boyfriend. I couldn't have loved it more!
