A WOMAN OF STONE

she was a woman of stone
she said
so she let no one inside
each day she put on her mask
each day she let love pass her by.
this woman of stone
hid silently behind her fears
no one knew that she was slowly dying
no one saw as she counted each tear.
she was a woman of stone
she said
and that much is true
just be careful or you may find
that this woman is really YOU.
