The Weight of Beauty
Maybe I was naive to overlook your faults
Your looks were blinding I got caught up
I should have just ignored you yet
I turned your way, unfortunately
Desire of something I thought I couldn't have was so intriguing
Unsurprisingly, not lasting long
I managed to keep it going
Until you turned me away
How could someone so beautiful be nothing more than that
I never believed looks could be this deceiving
Then I met him
Maybe I was shallow to overlook his soul
I actually took time to get to know him
No one understands why I turned him away
Such a hard thing to do but
Looks can be hampering
A huge roadblock
Sometimes too hard to push past
But why should they matter so much?
Such a hypocritical question of me to ask when I myself can't get over it
Why does someone so good have to be only so on the inside?
But maybe being naive and shallow teach me something
Terrible qualities lead to mistakes which can lead to wonderful lessons
If only I had savored the time, lived in the moment and not rushed it
I would have been able to enjoy and appreciate what I had just then
Looks shouldn’t matter as much as they do
Once you find a beautiful person, love them from the inside out for everything they are
After all, don't you want the same thing?
