The Weight of Beauty

Maybe I was naive to overlook your faults Your looks were blinding I got caught up I should have just ignored you yet I turned your way, unfortunately Desire of something I thought I couldn't have was so intriguing Unsurprisingly, not lasting long I managed to keep it going Until you turned me away How could someone so beautiful be nothing more than that I never believed looks could be this deceiving Then I met him Maybe I was shallow to overlook his soul I actually took time to get to know him No one understands why I turned him away Such a hard thing to do but Looks can be hampering A huge roadblock Sometimes too hard to push past But why should they matter so much? Such a hypocritical question of me to ask when I myself can't get over it Why does someone so good have to be only so on the inside? But maybe being naive and shallow teach me something Terrible qualities lead to mistakes which can lead to wonderful lessons If only I had savored the time, lived in the moment and not rushed it I would have been able to enjoy and appreciate what I had just then Looks shouldn’t matter as much as they do Once you find a beautiful person, love them from the inside out for everything they are After all, don't you want the same thing?
