Wounds, scratches and scars

Her wounds were healing
She moved away
Began settling again
A new life
Possibly a new love
He came along
Made her laugh
Gave her hope and joy
Made her feel like the little girl she once was
She thought she loved him
Perhaps more than she should
She always gave too much
But she had a good feeling about this one
He was solid gold
So she showed him her naked soul
But that wasn't enough for him
He discarded her
She understood
He had his reasons
He discarded her
But left no deep scars
Just a few scratches
They healed
She dressed her soul that she bared to him
Others came and tried to get her to reveal
She wouldn't let them
She dated, smiled and said good bye

Gradually they formed a bond again
This time a true friendship was revealed
Deep affection
Our so she thought
No rush, no pressure
Friends forever
Who knows
Maybe one day
They can be together
Thinking about him everyday
Sometimes the distance seemed too far away
So she just got on with her life
Perhaps she took him for granted
This true friend
Well he was solid gold
Or so she thought
Then he discarded her again
But she will not be scared
She heals quicker these days
Perhaps he was just gold plated
And the toils of life
Had caused the gold to tarnish
Nothing hurts more than being tossed to one side
By someone you care deeply for
To lose a good friend makes her heart sore
But she is strong this girl
And always learns
From the lessons
Of the world.
