Beautifully Scarred

My oh my,

How lovely she is to the eye

How messy her hair would seem

Yet so elegantly it flows over her shoulders

And yes she complains about the length

But she doesn't know how well it suits her

And when she smiles,

It would never fail to reach her eyes

Filling it with so much light and life

And oh how her voice would boom

And to the untrained ear it would seem horrid

But she sang anyway

And even if her feet were too

ignorant to the art of dance

She swayed anyway

And her body might be covered in scars

Scars she's ashamed of

Yet to me, I saw them as untold stories

Each scar is so beautifully

engraved on her skin

Giving her strength

And yes her tears were contagious

But crying in her arms is a bliss

And her thoughts,

Oh how beautifully they roam in her head

Too shy to leave her lips

Yet they seem to leave her fingertips

With such beautiful words she expresses her desires

And yes in her eyes you would see lost hope

But in her life you'd see joy

And yes the joy doesn't seem to last

But it'll last in her head

And in her heart

And oh how her fragile arms

Would tangle themselves around the loving

Giving the undeserving her warmth and banter

And her heart

Oh how it beats for the living

Yet her soul seemed dead

Her heart was the kindest

And was the easiest to win

For her clock laughed at the foolish

And mourned with the giving

And her hands have stolen so many sentiments

She was a mistress of love

And many are proud to be her casualty.
