Skin Deep

Beautiful shell that she dwelled in
hid mental deformities and all her sin

Amazingly angelic a delight for the eyes
buried all the deceit anger and lies

Drawn in by the magic of skin deep charm
an insane persona brings nothing but harm

Tempting figure mysteriously inviting 
hid all of her pain that she was hiding

Behind her glamour and stunning appeal
an emotional confinement so true and so real
