Beautiful Ghost

I feel such empathy when I look at you,
I see the pain you're going through,

I hardly know you, you hardly know me,
But we acknowledge each other silently,

Your face disgraces your usual smile,
And for a second I wish I could have it awhile,

The envied are so often the ones envying most,
The beautiful faces underneath, are the ghosts,

Scary, the masks we work hard to build,
Crumble like ruins of a wicked King's guild,

I hope all is well, that you'll be alright,
That sleep will come to you peacefully tonight,

And when life is cloudy, remember, dear one,
There are people around you to bring out the sun.

    ‡ Intriguing ? Makes One Wonder Whom Your Loving Heart May Be Directing This Reaching Outs Verse Unto, Sweet Beautiful Juli-Michelle ? Personally, I Find It Quite Hard To Fathom How One Might Pursue A Make Believe Identity ? I Mean I Do Understand That Countless Play These Ever Changing Parts In Their Lifes But A Heart Can Always Be Viewed Aneath All The Masks Wherein They Wear ? Well, Perhaps Not Always ? Afore I Fail To Mention, I Love Your Beautiful Hair! Also, I Loved The Love Amid Your Heartfuls Verse ˜ 'Happy Holidays.' My Love, Always, Rachel *
