Beautiful

Beautiful…
Her eyes
No one sees
The tears unkind

Beautiful...
Her laugh
No one knows
What's behind

Beautiful...
Her smile
No one feels
The pain maligned

Beautiful...
Her secrets
No one expects
What to find…

Behind the face she makes
To hide the pain
The smile she fakes
For followers gain…

Behind the mask she wears
Of beauty arcane
The makeup she adorns
Delicate feign…

She feels lonely,
In falsehood’s reign
She feels sadness,
Isolated deign…

She feels bound
By approval’s chain
She feels so lost
In reputation’s stain…

So she lets go
Stop smiling, cries
Tears of loneliness,
Severed ties…

A hand upon her shoulder
A comforting cry
"I loved you as you are..."
"You didn't need to lie..."

And tears, she cries
"Really?" Heart aglow
So much sorrow and joy
As true beauty flows…

She embraces her Lover
A single beautiful tear
She was not herself
Now she is here

A laugh, a blissful laugh
Of divine, heavenly grace
“I love you…” As they kiss,
A timeless embrace…

And that is beautiful.
