While living my life
I was struck down
By a beauty that took my
Breath
We live day to day knowing
Each other
But I hide myself
Just like how she hides
With beautiful makeup
Even though she’s more beautiful
Without it
Never truly knowing what
To say
Or do
I sit laughing and listening
To all she has to say
Stricken by her beauty
Inside and out
