What the Soul Sees

In love with a woman who stares at the mirror daily and doesn't like what she sees She goes hard in the paint redefining her identity. I enjoy reaffirming who she is to me by telling her, her beauty is unchanging to me The reflection she sees is not a confirmation of who she is to me. More deeply than silver coated silica she has a great deal of talents, attributes, and ambition, none of which add numbers on a scale but add weight to her character which is so heavy to me She's unfiltered, unflawed and undeniably beautiful So stop looking in the mirror for confirmation; let this be an affirmation. You have a beauty unidentifiable, words indescribable a perfect way to convey what reflections cannot say You give brilliance to beauty So look in my eyes and let the windows of my soul be all the affirmation you seek.
