Thin Lines Bleed Heavy Consequences

Beauty Beneath The Surface

I remember that it hurt

Seeing him with her

Seeing how happy he was when he was around her

I could tell the difference

When he was just with me and when we were all together

He looked at her with all the care in the world, like it was his fate, his destiny

Just to be near her and love her

He had cared for me once

But that was long ago

Long before our paths met and became one I remember that it hurt

He looks at me and I know he sees her instead

I can feel it

His touch is no longer the same, in fact it's no longer there

He spends his time with his arms wrapped around her

Looking at her like he's in shock of her beauty

Yes, she is beautiful no matter how many cuts and scars are placed upon her skin

She was all he fancied, all he wanted

I remember that it hurt

He thought she was the only one with cuts and scars

Little did he know, mine were just hidden beneath the surface

That is where my beauty lies, with the cuts and scars

My beauty was beneath the surface

I remember that it hurt

Looking at him and knowing I could never have him

That his world was now orbiting around her

Looking at him with pain in my eyes and having him not even notice

Having him not even care when he did notice

I remember just how much it had hurt

Because I wasted so many tears on him when he didn't even love me

He loved her with all his heart, I loved him with all of mine.

He never once looked at me the way he did her

He never once saw how real the pain was getting

He didn't understand because he loved her, not me.

I remember that it hurt

Having him look at me and see absolutely nothing at all.
