I don't own OUaT. I originally wrote this as a character analysis for an original character of mine, but then it also fit Emma, so ta-da! Whoever's point of view you want it to be. I'm leaning towards Henry's...
can you see
?how strong she is?
can you imagine
?her beauty ever fading?
can you tell
?she's broken at all?
(no one does)
((no one can))
(((no one wants to)))
she hides it well
(?doesn't she?)
with
smiles&laughs&neverahairoutofplace
she can cover it up
(?can't she?)
by
talking&joking&alwayspretending
she'll try to never let them show
(?won't she?)
the
pain&scars&fear
but she doesn't need to
doesn't need to hide it
(she can't)
doesn't need to cover it
(she can't)
might as well let it show
(it already does)
because
you can see her
eyes
(?can't everyone?)
but no one else looks
close enough
(to really see)
sure
they
seelookatnotice
the steely blue
(?isn't she so strong?)
the bottomless blue
(?isn't she so beautiful?)
but
they don't
seelookatnotice
the emotionless blue
(doll's eyes)
(?can't they tell she's broken?)
of course
they can't
of course
they don't
of course
they won't
(they don't want to)
isn't she
?strong?
(always)
isn't she
?beautiful?
(forever)
isn't she
?unbreakable?
(never)
she'll try to
fix
herself
(she won't)
and
sXtXiXtXcXh
herself up
(she can't)
and
glue
herself together
(she doesn't want to)
because
she's afraid
(so afraid)
she'll
put herself back together
(fixsXtXiXtXcXhglue)
only to be
broken
(yet again)
and
?why?
fixsXtXiXtXcXhglue
yourself
if you're going to be
broken
?again?
and
it's not as though
anyone
will really
seelookatnotice
any difference
(except for you)
you and me
we're the only ones
that
seelookatnotice
her
(strong and beautiful her)
blankemotionlessdoll's
eyes
the only ones
that
aren't afraid to
look close enough
the only ones
that
know she's
broken
but I can't help her
(she won't let me)
maybe you can
(she'll let you)
you know her
(like no one else does)
((not even me))
sososo
strong
sososo
beautiful
sososo
broken
but you can
fixsXtXiXtXcXhglue
her back together
?will you?
