The Beauty In You


I see it in your eyes,

You see no one. 

I see someone.

You see the ugly,

I see the beauty in you.

You see scars and damage,

I see a canvas.

You wish you could stop falling from grace,

I wish I could change how you think. 

You wish for a new body.

I wish to change how you look at the world. 

You wish to die,

I wish to change what you live for.

You wish to take that last breathe,

I wish to show you the beauty in you.
