I've always dreamed that love would be effortless Like a petal falling to the ground; a dreamer following his dream. - Kelly Clarkson

She looked in the mirror and thought today 'What happened to miss no-longer-afraid?'

Here I am, once again,
I'm torn into pieces.
Can't deny it, can't pretend;
Just thought you were the one.
Broken up, deep inside,
But you won't get to see the tears I cry
Behind these hazel eyes.

Because of you
I never stray too far from the sidewalk.
Because of you
I learned to play on the safe side so I don't get hurt.
Because of you
I find it hard to trust not only me, but everyone around me.
Because of you, I am afraid.
