Beauty!

Nothing has changed from within
It's just as it used to be
A new dress to fancy your whims
Is now what you can see

The person inside - a happy soul
Now may bear a frown
For all the times with burden she bore
Waited for the genuine crown

She hoped and prayed for a watchful eye
For someone who could see beyond
All the skin and layers she wore
And gently would he respond

To every word and move she made
To see the woman inside
No fancy clothes or blush to show
What he needs now in his own bride

Now she is all plush and pruned
Lady in all terms vain
Her soul though remains un-turned
Burned with all the pain

Did she find a worthy friend
Or a foe so charmed by her
All the grace and courtesy games
Now undone as it were

A smile she wants to wear again
It seems to evade her face
Questions burning inside her head
Wondering how to erase

She knows she hasn't changed within
She knows its all the same
The eyes that dawn upon her skin
Somehow seem more than vain

She was there as time before
With all beauty to bare
The windows then for her soul
Seemed a little less to stare

They looked and saw and did not respond
For how could they convince their hearts
Beauty to them isn't whats in
But more of what helps the eyelids part!
