Practical Beauty

Wrapped tightly in your beauty
Everything you wanted to be.
Mentioned in long breaths
Everything you wanted to hear.
Done to perfection
Everything you wanted to do.
How much you are worth
Everything you wanted to realize.
Practical Beauty
Everything you did not want to be.
Whispers of shallow ends
Everything you did not want to hear.
Leaving your emptiness full
Everything you did not want to do.
Disturbed by these words
Everything you did not want to realize.

I think you just said it all.

Somehow I knew the second one I read would be even better than the first one. I love the message you convey and the way in which you do it. Song material, I think.

Imperfection doesn't look half bad
when reading it this way.

Nice and so practical really~
