Self portrait.
Locations
She looks like heaven
to me
She says no but that's okay
not everyone can see
The way her eyes shine in the morning
when the sun's just coming up
and she knows just what to say
when your mind is running away
She'll ask you to stay with one word
"please"
She sounds like the sea
to me
Always inviting and continuously calm
Who knew a voice could make you feel dizzy
for so long
They don't feel the same about her
because they never stopped to listen
If you watch her like I do
maybe you would be fascinated too
By the way she emits light effortlessly
giving you her smile when yours is missing
Or maybe you would be entranced
by the loneliness that hides
deep inside her pale blue eyes
only when she laughs
She's the moon and I call her Luna
because she radiates the suns bright light
when the world is at its darkest
She doesn't miss the light of day
because she bottles every single ray
and keeps them close beside her
How could you over look her
time and time again?
Perhaps because
she doesn't ask for your attention
and like the moon
she won't tell you all she wants is to be noticed
I can see she understands
that somewhere inside her is beauty
Have you noticed that she knows
she can be perfect all alone?
No, you haven't cared enough to notice
So you must not have been able to tell
that although she loves herself already
What she wants is you to see
all her flaws as merely freckles
instead of imperfections
What she seeks isn't self improvement
she just wants you to want to stay
If you asked her how many times
she's felt love
she would answer with silence
If you asked her how many times
she chose the wrong person
she would answer with tears
If you asked her how many times
she used a falling star on someone else
she would answer with a sigh of grief
for all the wishes that never came true
If you asked her what she wanted
she would say his name in her head
You see she'll never tell you out loud
because she doesn't want her own pain
to reflect back to you
I hope next time you'll see her
because she's not that hard to find
She's reading in the coffee shop
her emotions hiding just beyond her glasses
She's walking alone to her next class
because she prefers to be barefoot in the grass
She's walking in the rain
and her golden curls are getting wet
She doesn't feel any pain
only the bottomless crevice in her heart
that your absence brings
So I hope next time you see her
you'll walk up and say hello
I know she's just a stranger
but she's been waiting for so long
I know she's hard to approach sometimes
please don't wait until she's gone
