Beauty is Pain

How much does beauty mean?
In the big picture of it all...
Does the desire to be seen
Outweigh the cost of the fall?

How much are you willing to lose
for the chance of shallow love?
Not a bit of intelligence used
just a shy glance cast above

Through thick black lashes
and thicker sex appeal
Will you abandon your passions
to be drooled over like a meal?

We've lost, I feel
beauty's true definition;
It's kindness, a mind like steel
and a Heart full of ambitions

But now we sacrifice
our intelligence and grace
for a heart of ice
and a Damn pretty face.
