Disclaimer: Don't own the O.C., but I'm sure you knew that by now.
A/N: In between writing Life Without You and finishing up two new stories (one S/S, one R/M) I thought of this. Actually, it came to me in a dream, and I wrote it up at 2AM, which would explain its overall suckiness. Enjoy!
Many things you'll never know…
A broken spirit, a shattered family
Reach into her heart and you will see
In her eyes a gray-blue mist hangs
Splendor of a beauty with more problems than appear
Slips beneath the surface, drinks until it's all a dream
A true love she'll wait for
Rusted heart, trust does not penetrate easily
You don't know what monsters lurk in his dreams
Always saves the damsel in distress, neglects himself
Never been loved, and loved in return, not before now
Shadow of a woman her mother used to be
Under the sheets she is really alone
Masks her heart with a shield of frost
Meant to be with him, she was blind before
Everything she worked for, she threw it all away
Reach out and catch her, an unsteady young girl lies beneath her façade
Silent savior, hidden courage
Eyes for her, and only her
Trust broken, a crushed heart, brotherly bond torn
Hoping to sail the pain away, yet more miles mean more regrets, and further stab the knife into his soul, his blood
