What Kind of a Woman Are You?

 

You asked what kind of a woman I am, and I don't know how to answer that...

What kind of a woman you want to be is an easier question to answer...

But I'll try answering both these questions today...

I am a shy woman...

I won't lie...

There are times I wished I wasn't...

Low and timid voice...

I need to be 'loud' to be heard...

I wish I had a deeper voice, a more confident personality...

I am a little bit of a romantic...

I romanticize most things I see...

Broken down houses and falling petals...

Wind in my hair and twinkling city lights...

Dried roses in my books...

I would like to be more practical...

I guard my heart and I don't wear it on my sleeve

I keep it wrapped in sheets of ice...

I wonder sometimes if I am an unkind woman...

I am selfish and I know that...

I would like to be a more giving woman...

Give more time and give more love...

And I am tiring...

I wear down people...

A little too curious for my own good...

I will try and peep...

And I will try to get to know you...

You and your secrets...

I will rarely open my heart though...

I am scared of it, you know...

But if I let you in my heart, I would like you stay...

I will guard you like I guard my secrets...

For I wrap my heart in ice sheets...

But I would like to believe my heart is a flower valley...

I hope you'd like to stay...
