Description
she has a heart of stone,
shielded with clover and moss,
protected by oaken bones she carved
with heavy hands.
even with those precautions
she never earned a scar
she didn't see coming,
never learned to carve out
someones life but her own.
after all, she forged herself
from forests and mountains,
built herself from the streambed up,
with wildflowers for eyes and
honeysuckle warming her veins.
how would she know how to
rebuild herself to fit anyone else.

if she seems unhewn,
a little wild and feral to the naked eye,
well- theres not much to be done.
she doesn't know how else to be.
please forgive her heart when
it rattles against her ribs,
it's only trying to protect her.
