Searching for that moment slipping away
reaching for it past the frost,
wanting for that certain day.

Trying to find beauty in the girl in the mirror,
That girl not perfect, not even close
Doubting her eyes, fearing her.
Naked and wondering, her body exposed.

Why are there days when beauty is given?
Stretched her heart to feel it again
her soul and love driven
to prove to herself, where life had been.

When days on end her smile bright
when nights on end her dreams long
Used to be every moment in sight
And she knows how her thought is so wrong.

Inside she is beauty. Inside she is right.
To him she is everything.
To her, he is her knight
His love is never ending, a circle, a ring.

Trying to find beauty, in the world around her.
Searching inside for that spark of light.
Time is when things occur
A message in the moment, in her sight.

He loves her with all his heart.
She loves him with everything she knows.
She dares to never try and part.
each day the love grows.

In past memories when the world was spinning
the beauty inside her was missing
sketched saddness in the beginning,
was lost to happiness reminscing.

She is beauty, even if she cant find it.
Looking in the distorted mirror she should not try,
dry those tear stained eyes and emit
all that happiness and joy so do not cry.

You are beauty. I am beauty. Dont.
Try and search for it you can find
Just look at yourself and stare.
when it's already there.
You are you. I am me. We are defined. [comments] => 1 [counter] => 161 [topic] => 32 [informant] => NeuroticCoffeePot [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => SadPoetry )

A deep poem. Many people struggle with their own external and internal beauty. I like how in your second to last stanza you admit that sometimes it's hard to find.
