Hiding The Heart
By Jasmine ^_^
I'm the self-proclaimed Beauty Queen
A model of perfection and popularity
Yet there's a part of me no one's seen
Another Ms. Crest of Sincerity
All of my life I've gossiped and chatted
Been the poster child of material fashion
Perfect ruby red lips, mascara never matted
A flirt and every boy's current passion
But maybe I'm not always so refined
Perhaps there are times when I'm unbeautiful too
And I might even feel the pressures of being confined
Like a caged morning dove unable to coe
Surrounded by the phonies and cheats
They smile so fake, so beautifully false
They purr "Love ya Mimi, my sweets"
They really think "Who in the hell made her the boss?"
No one did and I never asked to be this social ruler
Why then do they bow down to me like I'm a God?
What makes me so much more cooler?
Nothing- Nothing at all- Can't you see its just a facade
And when the tears come pouring down
And my heart feels like a million pieces of shattered glass
Your arms are were I want to be bound
Only you are the one I confide in until all the pain will pass
If I am a Queen then may you be King
The emperor of my fragile heart
A palace of love which lies hidden from the world's stings-
And only to you I may impart
So whisper to me now those words I long to hear
While you run your long fingers through my hair
Your hot breath warming up my ear
And harm not one bit this heart that is now so bare
Perhaps one day I will ride myself of all my social obligations
Stare into the smiling faces of all those chattering clowns
And say "I don't want anymore of your horrid expectations"
Ripe off that heavily weighted Queen's crown
And then I'll run to you
As you stand with excepting arms, I know
And with kisses, my tears you'll subdue
My king. My beloved. My Joe.
