I expected something 

Completely different 

An Angel maybe

Hair flowing shining 

Her skin clear and so clean 

But Dirt on her face

Skinned bloody knuckles 

Rocks in her unkempt hair 

That I did not expect 

When we finally met 

Hope looked very unlike 

Anything I'd dreamed

So unlike I'd foreseen

But how else could it be?

She had been through hell

Just like me
