Few months back I met her
The girl who had philophobia
The fear of love
Those innocent brown eyes
Were home of the sea of lies
The curve of her lips screamed happy
But somehow my heart felt otherwise
The girl who had philophobia
The fear of love
Doesn't matter if she is 5 or 35
Burdened with the thought to thrive
She had to smile like all was fine
Amidst the misery rise and shine
The girl who had philophobia
The fear of love
I asked what was missing
What could have gone wrong
Finally I saw it on her left eye
The perfectly hidden sign of abuse
The girl who had philophobia
The fear of love
How could this happen
How could the world let this happen
It's not just about her
It's about you, me and everybody else
All those who don't notice
The girl who had philophobia
The fear of love
Because she is scarred
Because she is scared
Because she knows it can happen again
The same cycle of tears and pain
Over and over again
The girl who had philophobia
The fear of love
So next time you see them
Dare to stop it there and then
Don't just be glad that it's not you
Protecting her is your cue
Make her the girl who beat philophobia
Welcome love with no fear
