Death By Beauty

A smile moves across her lips She gazes at her crime A scar across her flesh and soul To haunt her for all time She’ll waste away for all she cares Never stops to use her brain Doesn’t care about the ones who are close All she cares about is pain She wants to be what the others expect of her Doesn’t care about the self-respect for her A rose can’t be a forget-me-not Can’t she see what all she has got Already? Never to go back again She feels the world is at an end She will never show her grief Although she’ll cry in empty streetS She’d sooner live like a desolate mole Living in fear in an empty hole Screaming silent wails alone Content to live in her mental home A final tear falls from her eye It hits the ground, it’s followed by A beautiful body, mutated by hate A kind word could have stopped it, but it is too late One two many bricks in the wall in her mind Molding her demise because her heart was blind This self conscious being could never have won For she was destroyed by the beautiful ones She wouldn’t fight back, wouldn’t respect herself In the end, she managed only to wreck herself A rose can’t be a forget-me-not Little did she know, she had all she had sought Already

Hello Jacob, stopping by to read tis poem again... I'd seen you are a new poet here and only have 3 poems. I hope you don't mind my enjoyment of this poem again.. I like the way you pinned this poem perfectly, while she is in her own expressive world. I like the image of the rose, and how it never will compare to a forget me not ;-) and yes we women go through lots of cold acts in life.. sorry to hear this one was blinded by her own ways... always...pd
