She Is Beautiful
He finds beauty in her empty eyes and fake smile
Why does he look?
Why does he stare?
Don’t deny it, don’t fight it, don’t hide it
She tries to show him something that is worthless
But his eyes seem to see right on through
“She is beautiful”
He tells her this everyday
But how can something so sad be full of such beauty?
Her scars do not bother him
Her bruises do not change his mind
He does not leave her because she is crying
Instead, he wraps her in his arms and says
“Everything will be alright, love”
So why is she beautiful?
Why does he stay?
She is not beautiful because she is attractive
She is not beautiful because she is easily taken advantage of
She is beautiful because her eyes tell a story
She beautiful because she obtains a listening ear
She is beautiful because she has the ability to love
She is beautiful, simply because she is HERSELF
