That reminded me of a pure Soul,

Of a person_or of magnificent Ore,

That I, often unintentionally Ignored.

I missed the beauty of her exterior,

Not knowing the dept of her interior,

That I later realized

On the departure of her gleaming eyes;

Whom described her internal Beauty,

I Hugged her tight with a sudden fright

That I’ll lose a diamond in a pride.

I Hold her tight in my arms

But she unbraced herself heart-broken

And left me in a horrible commotion.
