She was seated in the lobby of the grandest hotel
I've ever had the pleasure to frequent
pristine down to the last detail  
smooth pencil skirt emotion lining her face

Something strangely familiar made me stop  
She looked holding me in the embrace of her stare  
Puzzled as to why I was hovering
willing me to move on
Used to strangers stopping for no reason
It was the burden she bared

She turned her head just slightly
Kind of tilting her self to get a better view
Across her beautiful cheek bone was a scar so deep
As though someone had taken a blade and tried to slice away her beauty
And yet beauty is more than skin deep

An older gentlemen shuffled past me
Holding out his arm
She rose and linked hers through his
A weary smile on lips of crimson
She turned her head
Pretending that this was normal
Pretending she didn't know who I was
Pretending she wasnt someone from the other side of town

May you sleep on sheets of satin and may lace clothe your body
You are worth more
Tell yourself this before you leave this world
You are worth so much more
