Inner Beauty

A colorless void encases a cardinal mind
Aesthetically stifled in a lonely heart
Its beauty therein has flown worlds apart
Entrusting true love, one day it’ll find

Until then, she’ll dwell in memories
and shadows that haunt every dream
Her tears flow in an endless stream
when love was more than reveries

I wanted to see what the inspiration was for this contest before I commented on your write, Mark. Your lines are a perfect fit for the sorrow felt by the woman depicted in the image. Best of luck with your entry.

You should be happy with both verses, for they compliment each other.

Why thank you very much Jenna! This is a new style of writing for me. I'm particularly happy at how the second half turned out.:}
