Like old gemstones left with a dull glitter,
and hearts worn heavy with exhaustion
She stands among it all,
love still beating in her heart
though while she gives away a gentle kindness for free,
her heart is another story.
It's known that an umbrella changed everything,
and open honesty spurred it on
They often wish that they could have been the one
to bare their hearts in time
with a gentle offering,
but life doesn't always work that way.
She's beautiful,
but that isn't defined by what she wears
or the way she looks,
it's just who she is,
glued to every pore
even when you least expect it to.
