Beautiful

Scars written on my heart
tears my closest friend,
In the shadows I have shut myself away from the world.

And then one day,
a prince wandered into the shadows,
shining armor, with a heart of gold
He saw my pathetic form laying
on the cold ground
and saw my blood shot eyes and shook his head
He gathered me into his arms, dried my tears as he whispered, "I have waited for you. I love you my beautiful. I love you."

The shell became a pearl.
The ugly, became beautiful.
