    Skin Deep

    I was taught that beauty is only skin deep
    But it`s your inner beauty that I find un-attractive
    So I stare blankly at the cover of your book
    Regretting that I ever read the first few chapters
    Knowing you`re not just a library rental, So I can`t return it
    And it hurts to revisit that feeling of love at first sight
    When I try to burn it
    So I just, toss you on my bookshelf, behind Malcolm and Martin
    And bury my love for you, with my love for the revolution
    Shootin` stars from my night sky
    As I day dream about our future
    Erasing the parts of you I don`t like
    Re-painting your perfect picture
    Cuz I know you`ll never be picture perfect
    What I don`t know is how much you`re worth
    But I know you`re far from worthless
    I`m stuck reading you as you rant randomly on pages
    Waiting on you to return your eyes
    Away from them foreign faces
    Placing us on that perfect scene
    The one that`ll never exist
    So that we can be seen as happy
    Signed and sealed with a kiss
    I`d even settle for a hug, if asking for a kiss is too much
    Shit, even a stare from your beautiful eyes would cause me to blush
    For years I waited for you, And for years you ignored me
    For years I thought nothing of it
    Now we don`t even speak
    Pain seeps thru my pores
    Knowing that another planted a seed in your womb
    And it hurts to stare as it grows
    Knowing that it should have had my eyes, nose or lips
    So I cry at night, feeling lost and neglected
    Because even though your inner beauty was flawed
    I was willing to accept it.

    i liked this. seriously, it had a good meaning to it. it had a meaning to it, i doubt other readers will be able to see.
    the emotion was powerful. you expressed your,
    writers voice like it was a reality. and that is what makes a poem stand out.
    this was an enjoyable read.
    keep doing what you do.
