Ugly

Your eyes are shining embers,
Beckoning the ones,
Lost in storm of life sea.
Persevering the sabotages,
Turmoil brewing,
But they ignore me,
Why are you so repulsed ,
At the sight of me?
Am I that ugly?

Your hands are strong
Upholding the beacon
With mighty determination 
So why do they withdraw
When I am crying
At your feet?
Why are you so repulsed ,
At the sight of me?
Am I that ugly?

Your voice is the sound that rings
All the time in my mind
Bitter but soft
But why don't they ever
Spell the name of me?
Am I that ugly?

I drift, I splash,
I collide,I collapse,
Just for one solce, 
Will you ever find me?
Or
You are just repulsed ,
At the sight of me
I am that ugly .

Emotive and expressive work that you have penned in this one. Comparing the sea or ocean and the lighthouse to a human relationship very clever. Thanks for sharing and for dropping by my page. Sara
