As the Petals Fall

by DiamondFlame

From her soft, fair skin To her messy, curly hair. Her soft, kind smile and Her thin figure.. They all saw her as gentle beauty. They don't know, do they? They don't know that her scars don't come from her favorite rose bush. They don't know how much she hates her "adorable" freckles. They don't know that when she looks down at her body, she sees an elephant. They don't know that she has never nor will she ever see herself as beautiful. She doesn't understand what they see. She doesn't understand what he sees. You all have the story wrong. She didn't fall in love with a beast. The beasts were in her mind.

Beauty was killed by her beasts..

And no one could see behind her bright smile.
