She Doesn'T Do

She's beautiful in so many ways
Yet she feels broken in so many more 
She dreamt of different things 
No idea of what life had in store 

She wont let herself feel
Comfortably numb is where she stays
She wont tell you why
Cause she doesn't know what to say

She's given up on love
Happily ever after is only in books
But love hasn't given up on her
She'll know when she sees that look

She wants to care for all
While she forgets about herself
She doesn't want fortune or fame
She doesn't need wealth 

She needs to lose herself
In someone else's eyes
Be loved like she dreamt of
Without having question why

She knows love for her family
Theres also love for a few choice friends
Finding love in the eyes where she got lost
Is when her happily ever after can begin

Your third stanza was my favorite. There are different kinds of love aren’t there? Bless her heart if she’s out there, so many like her. What a sweet, sweet poem with everlasting hope that like Cinderella, her prince will come along.
