My big brown eyes are a silent story.
There are those who try to read, but give up simply.
I am a prize found among the dust,
And so any man who finds me
Has found a diamond in the rough.I loathe the nature among men
Who speak many words and do not follow suit.
I've been held by liars and frauds
And I have yet to find one who speaks the truth.
I am a simple woman in this complicated world—How devastating it is to be among the rarity.
I've locked myself up with tight chains,
And I do not seek a prince among reigns.
For I am sitting patiently, untouchable among the art.
Passerby's will look on and desire to come close,
But I'm behind a glass that remains thick.I long for a pure completion,
Someone who adores my cracks and chisels.
I am a beast within a beauty,
And I am the sharpest thorn among thistles.
I can shed a tear in a momentBut never think I'm ruled by fear.
Oh foolish man, do not come close!
Those who do often run off too quickly.
I seek one who notices me from afar, and inches slowly.
For the one who keeps coming, but not so suddenly
Will surely be the one to win me.
