I did it.
I just let him in.
Nothing coy,
I played no games.
I told him all,
I thought he'd run,
but he stayed awhile,
to play.
For once, I thought
it might could be--
about who I am,
not what he sees...
there is much more
inside of me,
than lashes long,
and blushing cheeks...
and it is nice to be admired,
a power felt to spark desire--
soon enough, I grew tired,
of what to say when lust expires...

Am I pretty?
What is that--
when beauty fades
and thighs grow fat?
Through my tears,
I write in pain,
to think I loved
a man so vain...

I'm looking forward
to the day,
to see your face,
and your dismay...
for this is yours,
it's your disgrace,
my ass is fine--
as I walk away...

And you will know,
when you grow old--
I hid my face
so you'd see my soul...
I know that you'll remember me,
when wisdom makes you more aware--
remember, as you count your hairs--
a beauty stood before you, bare.

Wow...that's really great. We all want somebody to look past our appearence and see us for who we really are.

I asked nothing more of my ex fiancee, but never got it. Such a physical world we live in, where people refuse to look past the flesh, to see the beauty that lies beneath. I love the way you have captured this. Great work!

Never give your heart away, it will always come back broken.

Well, the painful truth is, we see the outer beauty first before we give ourselves the chance to know the inner beauty    It seems to me, this author possesses both, and this work really intriguied me!  If romance is physically fit, then lust is part of a good loving relationship.  I loved this....I've read it twice.

You go girl!!!!!!!  I've been there I do know, and I must add it does give you great satisfaction when you find out they've finally realised just what they let go!!!  I looked at is as a glory day, a little personal victory for me.  And it will happen for you too, and I hope you do the same.
Great work here hon

Serenity,
Thanks for posting such a strong poem. i liked it. I agree about being too in volved with the physical to see the inner beauty. Fortunately I've got to an age where my appearance doesn't matter...MUCH!
Be well

Thanks everyone...I wrote this one after hearing, "I like your personality, but I don't know what you look like..."  Well, guess what, I USED TO think he was attractive too...love him much, he's still my friend, but he has more to learn about me than just what I look like...smiles and hugs to all....
