When you see her cry
you get a rag,
a gentle delicate clothe
lovingly grasp her hand
and dab its tip
to dry each tear as they come
and ask each drop
why it'd leave
such beautiful eyes.

If she wishes 
to be in the sky
Tell her to go 
Take the sun ransom
And replace it in the sky
So you can see her every morning
and plead for her 
To return each night.

When you see her scars
Both visible
And non
touch each 
gently like you might
caress the broken wing
Of a dove 
and remind her
that for every hurt
that she's survived
has only made her 
that much more unique
that much stronger.

Show her that she is worthy of love
That she deserves the love
she fears to give...
show her so that
one day after you're gone
she can find the strength 
to continue on without you.

Tell her 
that while she might not be 
a goddess above worldly desires
or poet writing alluring lines
Of passion and love
that she is amazing,
that she is astounding
for just being  herself
for being that beautiful girl
that believes herself to be damaged
when ,in truth,
She's just a different kind of beautiful.

And finally love her 
Like a boy loves a girl 
Till she finally remembers
That that's what she is 
Not a scar,
Not a goddess,
Not a star,
But a girl
That deserves to be loved.
Done in response to PrussianPersephone :iconprussianpersephone: 's piece   fav.me/d7er9tk it was beautiful and certainly deserves its acclaim, if you haven't read it please do; however I personally didn't enjoy the dependency shown in the piece. You should never depend on someone else to find even an inch of your worth because that would mean they could take an inch away.
If Prussian sees this, this piece was done out of respect for your piece's content, and please note me if you have any problems with it.

ALSO STILL NEED SUPPORT ON WATTPAD, IF YOU LIKED THE PIECE AND HAVE ONE PLEASE GO HERE: www.wattpad.com/45030896-garde… .

This is too good! How long did it take you to think of all of this and put it on paper?
