Beauty

Baby You look in the mirror and what do it see? Beauty? Perfection? A smile that could blind? Eyes that could drown? No. You see sadness Grief Sorrow and bitterness Never mind the heartbreak. But stop. Look again. Step out of your shoes and look again I see it, I see it all Happiness Ecstasy Exhilaration But I do see eye to eye with you on something. The heartbreak I recognize it and I can sense it. Your aura is off Your smile isn't so blinding Your eyes are shallow and your heart is straight up empty. In pieces. Black and blue. No longer luscious and fully rounded or cheerful. But read that again. I recognize it. There's a part of you that no amount of stitches could fix. You can't close a hole so deep. But baby you can fill it. Get full of others happiness Get blinded by their smiles And drown in their eyes. You are the only one who can fill that hole that he left you with. You have the power. So draw a line, and don't let him cross it again

Alannah, Welcome to Poetry soup, I hope you enjoy the community. Here, you will find friendly poets who enjoy supporting one another. I myself, enjoy reading and commenting those who want to be read. The only time I give constructive criticism is when a poet desires it. However, if for some reason the poem is not my field I will guide you to someone who is more qualified than I. Stop by and read one of my poems if you like. My poems are not perfect, but I have a feeling you might like one. I encourage you to check out the contest page and read to receive comments. Tell me a little about your poetic skills if you like. It will be my pleasure to follow and read every poem you post from here on :) We are Lucky To Have you. Your New Poet Friend @-> LINDA <-@
