The Girl

I am the girl who loves

too hard too long and

too much.

I am the girl who stays

and stays

because I know what it feels

like to lose the rarest of loves.

I am the girl who above all 

craves the deepest kind of 

soul love.

I am the girl who is driven

by love and love alone.

And, I am the girl

who walks through the fire

for love.

I will always be the girl

who is a slave to this kind

of love.

God help me, I am that girl.

~N.R. Hart, Beauty and her Beast "driven by love"
