Dying Star

Perfect body, stunning eyes.
Looks alive, but dead inside.
Abused, bemused, used and broken.
Silenced, troubles stay unspoken.

Once bright eyes that since have darkened.
Devils, demons, bad boys harken.
Innocence that has been stolen,
Troubles, pain, the list keeps rolling.

Hidden from the world of love,
Cursed by your gift from above.
Good men too shy to speak to you,
Bad guys the only ones you knew.

They lust, they lie, don't empathise,
They hurt you, don't apologize.
They don't love you for who you are.
Once bright, but now a dying star.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life."
