Light Touches Her

Light Touches Her

Light touches this girl

It touches her

Giving her personality an awing glow

A glow of hope

A ray of sunshine

On the cloudiest day

Why I wonder

Why her?

Why the girl with the scars?

The scars on her wrist,

The slits on her hips

The tears in her eyes

But the light in her soul

Maybe she means something

But why believe that when she doesn't?

She's just a girl

But more

Her smile says a thousand words

And her lips don't move a bit

Her eyes say words

Enough to fill a novel

The light shines thru,

Those emerald eyes

Some people quite love those eyes

And those who don't,

Can't see it,

Can't see that light,

That light in her eyes.

I don't know how they don't,

It's so very obvious to me,

But then again,

I have a mirror,

I don't always see that light,

Sometimes it's dark,

And sometimes it's blank,

And lots of times,

It's hard to see past those scars.

This girl also has scars in her mind,

You hear them in her voice,

You can hear them.

Those scars,

They are the worst,

It's not the wrists

Or the slit hips,

It's the scars in her mind that I see,

I think them as well,

If that's possible.

Is she even possible?

Is the light even possible,

I hope so,

I catch a glimpse of her sometimes.

In a window,

I see her in the mirror,

But that's a rare occasion,

Unlike those scars

Those scars are hers,

Hers to keep

Hers to hide,

With a jacket,

With a pair of jeans,

But not the scars of her mind,

The walls she's built,

Have some holes,

Unlike those jeans,

I wonder if they wonder,

Those people with the minds,

The minds that aren't scarred

Or scared.

Some think she's an open book,

I think she's an unfinished mystery novel,

Or maybe the last chapter is blank,

The last page torn out.

Maybe the title is incorrect.

Maybe the list of Authors doesn't have an end.

Is she a dictionary?

Fiction?

What's her title?

What's the genre?

Of the light stricken,

Scarred girl,

The one with emerald eyes

And scarred mind,

The scared mind?

This is the girl,

The one the light touches,

But doesn't surround.
