Visions of beauty
Am I alone?

I wish others would see
What I find in these women
And give them
What they deserve

How do they miss it?
As though they were
Looking at portraits
With X-ray vision
(Seeing right through the beauty)

They deserve so much more
Than broken hearts
And shattered dreams,
Than emotional pain
And internal screams

They deserve to be loved
They deserve a prince
Who sees them
For the princesses they are
And treats them accordingly

I'm tired of seeing these princesses
Depressed and alone
Their dresses stained
With blood and tears

Cutting or drinking away
Lonely moments
Cutting or drinking away
Painful memories




Can no one see?

Some days
I'm ashamed
To call myself a man

And nothing hurts me more
Than knowing
That I may only save one
