Summer Beauty

Natural beauty that makes eyes glisten with love, lust, desire Makes hearts beat faster, fear, ache, break, fall in love An inner beauty of spirit and kindness, giving, wanting to please Wanting to be loved, fearing rejection, heart breaking, wondering why Too gentle to understand true jealousy and envy Too trusting, always giving, making people happy Whilst inside aching, wondering why me Just wanting to be happy, to please Holding nothing for herself, only an emptiness Beautiful words pour from her pen Fuelled by her longing and heartache Yet the smile remains, with eyes you want to fall into The dream of many, who don’t see the sadness The dream of one, who see's all.
