For Hearts That Have Never Been Loved 


For Hearts That Have Never Been Loved


We pine after movie stars,
We envy the women.
Antonio, Leonardo, Brad, Dougray
They are the men we live for.
We are the women society doesn’t see,
Or rather, chooses not to see.
We are not ugly, or perhaps we are
At least to those we desire.
We may be beautiful inside,
Have a glow that is held inside our bodies
Yet it cannot be released
Because others, unaware of it,
Ignore it completely.
We have so much to offer those around us,
We can love like the movies
We can hold and be held.
Yet we are looked over for beauty;
We, who are beautiful on the inside
Wither.
