the girl of stone.

Keep your distance
reach for me slowly
no sudden movements
I’m denying I’m lonely
widdle me down
warm me up
before you test my heart
or still you’ll find it’s hard
hit     hit     hit
with a hammer
does it even crack?
even just a sliver?
If it does keep on me
keep warming and testing
for only you can bomb the shell
and endure me
until my heart is soft enough
to touch
to hold
to cling to
and
then you’ll make a difference
and be in the books
for melting
the girl of stone.

“We have to allow ourselves to be loved by the people who really love us, the people who really matter. Too much of the time, we are blinded by our own pursuits of people to love us, people that don't even matter, while all that time we waste and the people who do love us have to stand on the sidewalk and watch us beg in the streets! It's time to put an end to this. It's time for us to let ourselves be loved.”
