Woman

There is a woman with eyes of brown,
Unblinking and sad, they hide heartache.
Tears slip down, staining her cheeks.

There is a woman with lips so soft,
Untouched and quivering,
No longer kissed.

There is a woman with skin so pale,
Unseen by the sun, hidden from the world,
Dreaming of a fairy tale prince to rescue her.

There is a woman with beauty uncompared,
Hidden away from those she once held near.
She closes her eyes, blurring the lines
Between fantasy and reality.
