Her Number

does she continue to live in fear of others opinions 
keep worrying whether they will accept her 
or just think of him and say it's okay. 
covered in scars from head to toe 
mutilation clearly presents itself at first meet 
no denying the years of scarring seen 
can they look past the scars and see 
see the girl deep inside crying 
only wanting acceptance but getting banished. 
the years of pain can be seen in her eyes 
hope of sanity and love in her smile 
dreams of a happy family in every touch. 

her inner family gave up on her 
they could not take her life style 
yet they had imprisoned her 
locked her away for many years. 
she was trapped on a roller coaster of depression and anger 
forever in loneliness and misery 
all she dreamed of was being saved 
being taken away from her cell 
for the mutilation to finally stop 
all the wounds to close and heal. 
she found her jail break in him 
daily she started smiling 
isolation began to cease and she was becoming something better 
she was turning into a princess... 
then it was ripped away. 

once again the mutilation began 
the silent screams at night awakened 
and the cell grew smaller than ever. 
nightly she cried out for her knight to save her 
for him to love her dear 
never give up on the girl he met at seventeen. 
time grew on and things got worse 
she was becoming a walking corpse trapped in time 
in misery and pain. 
he tried to help her feel better 
to keep her from joining the dead 
to show them what they have done 
let them see the pain that she was truly in 
day-in and day-out she thought of suicide 
yet for him...she lived on. 

time and time again the girl was punished in that cell 
time and time again she dreamed of being saved 
of escaping prison and being free 
the capability of getting to smile 
breathing all the fresh air. 
her knight begged for her to leave 
to accept his help and escape 
she was choked multiple times 
yet she believed things would get better 
that they would accept her is she went to school. 
high hoping was that for they only took that too 
they could not allow her to be happy 
though only he could bring her happiness. 

one sad night she picked up the phone 
she did not know what to do 
everything was becoming a blur and her world was spinning. 
he told her to leave that night 
come be with him and be free 
she thought of doing it all night 
then her dreams came true when her parents showed up. 
they through the phone at her and told her "call him"... 
thoughts racing through her mind she was hesitant 
she was afraid of what was happening... 
dialing his number she tried to stay far from them 
it ringed 
once 
twice then he answered the call. 
she almost started to cry as she asked "can you come get me?" 
he showed up to rescue his princess from that place 
it took everything for her not to smile once she saw him. 
they rode away on dreams come true 
love saved the girl from the prison
