A Beastly Beauty
Branded the most beautiful
She stands alone, no push or
pull
Sparkling nails and eyes so
blue,
Her head held high as her
dreams come true
Rosy lips and a sculpted nose
Deafened ears that hear no
woes
Shiny frocks and golden locks
She smiles away as money
stocks
Perfection drips, truly a beauty
so rare
But unfortunately she's never
learnt to share
Finally I recover from her
trance
To discover this beauty here's
my only chance
I follow her everywhere
But what I find you wouldn't
want to hear
All the lies swept aside,
This is what alas I find
A cold stare, a cruel face,
A heart that has never known
no faith
Filthy hair and lips that lie
She's never had a reason to cry
Wrinkled hands that never
learnt to give
She forgot to love, let alone
forgive
Her eyes are just a waste of
blue,
Cause they never see the pain
others go through
A twisted mouth , a crumpled
dress,
she's got the world, but that's
still less
It's all her fault that she's all
alone,
Cause no one likes a heart
made of stone
She's an ugly beast behind a
beautiful mask,
Is she beautiful is no question
to ask.
