Emerald Heart
A bar of soap wrapped with candy and sugar?
Or an emerald diamond hidden in a nasty ******?
Can we truly see, or can we just look?
A marvellous story written on the pages of an old dusty book
A short chubby girl with guts and nerves
While
she
has long legs and perfect curves
Her
blue eyes and long blonde hair cause obsessions
but her eyes are sore and she lost her hair during the countless chemo sessions
She
steals their hearts, and gets what she prefers
While she prays the nights as cancer steals her's
Now did you find this a bit confusing?
Because the chubby girl maybe outside cruising
While
she
prays
Counting her last days
Which one is which?
Did they just switch?
Or did you switch them?
You forgot about the rose petals because you were too busy gripping the stem.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but what if the beholder is blind?
The more we search inside, the more beauty we'll find.
And as for the two girls, it is not our job to know
because we cannot judge what does not show.
The tall curvy girl might have been the girl suffering cancer, and the chubby girl might have been the heart throb. Never judge a book by its cover.
