She’s everything you don’t see.
The lies that whisper in my ear that I am not good enough,
The fear that is hidden underneath a well-placed smile.
She’s looking back at me, mimicking me as I perfect my pout.
She’s everything I hide.
The loud laugh so no one knows I’m really dying inside.
The gentle caress, so you could never tell my skins crawling.
She’s looking back at me, brown eyes wild with desire.
She’s everything you don’t see.
The passion in the kiss we share, hoping you don’t taste my hesitance.
The flirtatious smile & wink when I’m looking at you.
She’s looking back at me, pointing out my every flaw.
She’s everything you don’t see.
The reason why I look down when a strange man smiles at me.
The quickness in my every step as I walk down the street.
She is me,
She is everything I hide beneath the surface,
She is Pandora’s Box,
She is the little girl who grew up way to soon,
She is the woman who still mourns you,
She is the voice of my insecurities,
She is the strength that keeps my secrets locked up so tight,
She is the mess I’ve learned to hide,
She is everything in me.
She is looking back at you through my eyes.
