Beauty

You always complained,

hated the way you looked,

Felt you had to compare,

Yet on you I was hooked,

 

You Felt you were chubby,

you hated having a scar,

Despised the stretch mark tummy,

Said your teeth were quite bizarre.

 

You, so strong and Independent,

Hating being between Jobs,

Living in poor conditions,

Stuck in a house full of slobs.

 

All you wanted were the girls,

Who were (wrongfully) taken away,

You could talk of them for hours,

Always having more to say.

 

You find all these faults and flaws,

You tell me that you're "Broken"

Yet you're perfect in my eyes,

I leave no praise unspoken.

 

Your eyes, like gems, They sparkle,

The way when you smile, they're amazing.

Your voice, cute, feminine, airy.

I really did love it when you'd sing.

 

The hair? Good god. That Moe Hawk.

Worst haircut choice you ever made.

And the Beiber haircut? Speechless.

Your independence I could not dissuade.

 

Yet you were still her, the one I wanted.

The looks always grew on me in the end.

You made me honestly happy, Love.

I thought you'd always be my best friend.

 

The Piercings? Attractive. The tattoos more so.

Everything I wanted I saw in you.

Your curves? Your body? Your shameless flirting?

Incited a lust in me no other woman could do.

 

You strive so hard to be individual,

Beautiful, Strong, Smart, Charming,

Even now, that you've left, your smile,

So pretty and pure, still completely disarming,

 

No matter what I've said in Jealousy and Anger,

You're an amazing woman. I just can't lie.

We may never even talk again after this,

We may not ever be able to see eye to eye.

 

But I think you were my "one",

Cause I am affected by no other,

I'll never forget you, Jen,

The Music loving nerdy Mother,

 

But now I'll walk away, while wishing you the best.

Hoping you find the happiness you want so badly.

It seems our chapter has ended, in such a poor state.

If you change your mind, I'll be here. Open arms. Welcoming gladly.
