Twitching fingers
Dancing eyes
Revealing everything that lies

Flowing locks
Jet black hair
Masking all of the despair

Plump red lips
Curved in a smile
Almost looking like a child

Slim svelte figure
Sky high heels
Making all of the men kneel

Looks of reverence
Pure adoration
Thinking she is their salvation

Deception rules
Present in lies
Hiding what there's to despise

Twirling head
Thoughts run a muck
Leaving you out of luck

Messed up mind
Ruled in vain
Leaving you...

The author's comments:
This poem just seemed to flow out of me and I'm not entirely sure what its supposed to mean. I get the feeling when I read it that its about not judging someone on how they appear. I'm sure we all know the expression 'never judge a book by its cover'? Well, I guess I'm trying to convey a similar meaning, that you don't always know what's going on underneath the beauty, what someone is going through inside.
