She is a perfectionist through and through
With one set of rules for her,
And another set for you.
She doesn’t cope well with her failure
Yet she can forgive you your behaviour.

She favours honesty and loyalty
And when she commits her heart,
She will treat you like royalty
Giving 110% from the start.

The minute she realises she has made a mistake
She will hang her head in shame,
Remedial action she will partake
To correct that which she is to blame.

An important issue she feels deeply about
Is not to go to sleep on a fight,
She needs it resolved without a doubt
Regardless of who is wrong or right.

She spends considerable time in her head
Convinced she is not good enough,
She tries to listen to her heart instead
But ignoring that little voice is tough.

If she suffers any emotional pain
She will hide behind her wall,
Put a smile on her face all the same,
And pretend…
