Just like the moon, she always kept part of herself hidden,
it was never a plan drawn up or set in stone
She has picked herself up time and time again, and
let her tears fall like torrential rain.
But each rejection, heartbreak and lesson have taken their toll.
Now, she feels nothing at all.
Because to feel is to leave yourself open.
So just like the moon, she keeps a part of her hidden.
