Born of Beauty

I am afraid of beauty
Everyone loves my softness,
Pink, white body
The shape of my skeleton
Fragrance from pores of skin
They die to sink in it!
My eyes are tired, flow in red every night
I need a deep sleep
But my heart is always watchful
The thought of you threatens me
If I defeat my beauty,
If my skin loses its soft pores
Can the dry pores create a sensual smile!
Would you still love me?
I'm afraid of my beauty
I can not hate myself
No way to escape the truth
Everybody lives their own lives
I am a simple girl
Sometimes melt in love
Love always whispers around me
I failed to fail
No one loves my soul
Now I am afraid of my love!

They say that "beauty is only skin deep". And, that is so true. It's what is on the inside that counts....Great work! I enjoyed reading this poem....Thank you for the kind comments on my poem!

That is why I guess a long-term relationship is such a valuable thing. We try to take care of the emotional needs of our partner. This is a very difficult topic and the wisdom that people have as you address in your poem is hard to arrive at.
