BEAUTIFUL

by Robin - Scorpio

this is brutally beautiful.
this waiting.

cutthroat and powerful and 
she's still chasing after "i love you's"
but she'll take a "you're alright" any day.

and this is so brutally honest.
this yearning.

wanting so badly for someone to claim her 
to need her
measuring her worth by that alone.

and they are so deceivingly beautiful.
these boys.

these wingless angels quick-spoken 
and even quicker-handed
stealing kisses and touches
faith and trust
nights and morning-afters

nevermind thoughts and hopes.

and we
we are so pitifully beautiful.
we fragile little girls.

so tough acting
so willing to please
so ready to love and be loved.

so pitifully beautiful.
