A Better Me

 

He praised the disregard her beauty showed

to time and synthetic treatment. He sent

his applause and cheers through caresses

and kisses that coaxed the most pleasant of tears

and after the appreciation and laughter

he declared…

 

you deserve better…

 

He listened to he deepest wounds and fears

that her soul seemed to wallow and walk in

and then gave her a safe escape. A way to wake

from a traumatizing dreamscape of great

pains and trustless games with no gains. Then

he said…

 

you deserve better…

 

He turned her every saying and movement

into the greatest art for the world to see

displaying her curves with the loveliest

words and visions that immortalized her

and as she posed for him on this pedestal

he sighed…

 

you deserve better…

 

He offered her a love so supreme

as he swung and kicked back past hurtful things

tortured by his anger of old and his own fears

untold he wept as she applauded his every move

and as she was stunned by his sadness

he said…

 

you deserve a better me…
