Gambling with her heart, willing to lose her pride Opening herself up, revealing whats inside. Allowing her gate to open, drawing him so near Exposing her tender feelings, thoughts she holds most dear. Wondering why she does it, why give him another chance To stab and wound her very worth, with sharpened fateful lance Trusting, Naive and open, A child in many ways She lends herself to others, trying to brighten their days. Experience is a teacher, both tough and partly cruel She's learned to be more careful, no longer play the fool. Her coutenance now much stronger, she's learned to play the game Prowling the jungles of mankind, No longer is she still tame. Pain and disappointments, no longer plague her lair Prepared and fully ready, of predators she's aware. Strutting like a lionness, with confidence as her mane Prepared for all the danger zones, she stalks for personal gain. Beneath the fur and leopard skin, and all the ferocious roar Lies a soft and gentle kitten, just hiding behind the door. To be revealed to those who care, and play with gentle touch She'll share her tender affections once more, with those who mean so much. ~ |
