she acts tough
She acts tough, putting up a front so strong,
Saying she doesn't need anyone, all along.
But deep inside, she longs for someone true,
Someone who'll love her like nobody else could do.
She wants understanding, care that's pure and deep,
To forget past pain, and finally find peace to keep.
On her worst days, a tight hug to hold her tight,
A sense of safety, like a baby in the night.
She just wants someone to share her stories with,
Without fear of judgment, without feeling adrift.
Someone who values her love, never takes it for granted,
A constant presence, even when the world seems slanted.
But she'll never admit it, she keeps it hidden,
Afraid of getting hurt, her heart remains forbidden.
Instead, she acts tough, shielding her tender heart,
Fearful of being ignored, of love falling apart.
Yet behind that facade, her true desires reside,
Yearning for a love that won't easily subside.
So let's see beyond her tough exterior's guise,
Embrace her with understanding, love in our eyes.
For deep down, she's just human, seeking connection,
Yearning for a love that defies all imperfection.
And perhaps, in time, she'll find the strength to see,
That vulnerability in love can set her spirit free.
