Beauty, Through Eyes Blind

"When she was just a girl, she expected the world; but it flew away from her reach, so she runs away in her dreams." - Paradise (Coldplay)

~*~

Tempted through those skies of blackened

Clouds, covering up stars; hiding true beauty.

Leaving behind those words, stuck in between

Reality, your mind, and every little catch

Of breath you cannot seem to take.

 

Fragile as glass, a winged butterfly,

One who's lost its' wings, it's heart;

As the dust settles to the ground

Broken, torn, unrecognized.

One last look, frail, as life leaves.

 

Pained glances prevented, an eye to eye;

Heart to heart thing. It cannot be

Comprehended, understood by those

Whom do not know what reality

Has shown to their hearts, their souls.

 

Unwillingly, you speak of dreams,

Of sights that have been

Unrevealed; to a blind eye

That cannot see the

True beauty you possess.

 

Pictures can paint words, but

Eyes can show a story

Written on parchment

Hidden, undiscovered,

In the center of your heart.

 

That if only one day you
Could possibly reach, see

The things the world has

In store for you; indescribable

By the words said by man.

Author's Note

I wish the world were blind; maybe then acceptance would be possible. Because there'd be nothing for you to judge but a person's heart.
