Alguém contou-me vez uma
pedií-lo se éramos
Lindo.
“A feminino não sabe nada
sobre o que é bonito”
Disse.

Isto é uma pergunta eu’ve
Nunca pediu alguém antes de..
talvez pensei eu já soube a resposta
E fez’t quer ouvií-lo para fora alto.

Mas você.
São ainda aqui
depois de tudo eu’ve disse
E depois de tudo eu’ve feito.
Quantas vezes têm contei-o como
Un-bonito sou?

Talvez são cansados de ouvir
Minha opinião.
Quer contar me o que você pensa?
“He somente podia estar esperando para uma oportunidade quando para conversa e
comece escutar. ”

Então eis a pergunta...
Sou lindo?
Ele’s seua volta falar.
Eu’ll é calmo para vez uma
E o acredita.

Someone told me once
to ask you if I were
beautiful.
“Females don’t know anything
about what is pretty”
he said.

This is a question I’ve
never asked someone before...
maybe I thought I already knew the answer
and didn’t want to hear it out loud.

But you.
You are still here
after everything I’ve said
and after everything I’ve done.
How many times have I told you how
un-pretty I am?

Maybe you are tired of hearing
my opinion.
Do you want to tell me what you think?
“He could just be waiting for an opportunity
when you stop talking and
start listening.”

So here is the question...
Am I beautiful?
It’s your turn to speak.
I’ll be quiet for once
and believe you.



"Glory remains unaware of my neglected dwelling where alone
I sing my tearful song which has charms only for me."

perhaps he likes the way you talk to him,
like he's not some lovers toy
an object of some sexual pleasure
something to be licked and teased
played with until it's no longer useful

perhaps it's because he can say his piece
and know that you will listen and hear
what it is that drives him crazy
or makes him happy

perhaps it's the fact that you choose to think
instead of doing what the other girls do
because they think beauty is in a small waist

perhaps it's the fact that he can talk
all day and night at the same time to you

perhaps it's because the things you fear, aren't that big at all
