She's The One That's Hurting
She was beautiful
Not in the way that some have
Crystal clear ocean eyes
A double zero on a jean tag
Or waves of gold
Cascading over shoulders
She was beautiful in the way
She danced alone in her room
And got lost in books
Curled up on the couch with coffee
On Sunday afternoons
She was beautiful
For smiling at people who just
Looked like they were hurting
Yes
She was a delicate kind of beautiful
But was is an important word
You see,
She strived to be
The other beautiful
With ocean eyes
Double zero tags
And golden waves
I guess she slowly lost time
TO dance alone in her room
And get lost in books
Curled up on the couch with coffee
On Sunday afternoons
And the ones who were broken
Smile at her
Because they know that
Now
SHE’S THE ONE THAT’S HURTING
