The green earrings

I want to look

pretty for you.

Because you

make me feel

pretty.

I get dressed.

Oil for my skin.

Perfume for my nose.

Lipgloss for my lips.

Mascara for my eyes.

I go to my

jewelry box,

Hmm? which

earrings should I

put on my ears?

I pick the green ones.

They are my birthstone.

Maybe all these things

will make me 

look younger,

sexier.

When I get to your house

You Kiss me.

Hold me.

Lets go to Dinner 

you say.

I reply Yes!

As we walk down 

the stairs

you say to me,

You are beautiful.

I am wearing 

makeup, I reply.

Thats not it,

you say.

Oh, I know

I say,

Its the earrings.

Green is my color.

No, you say.

Its not the Earrings.

Oh, I say

walking 

down the stairs.

I turn to look at

you.

You smile

and say,

all that stuff 

detracts,

Its your Heart.

Its your heart

that makes 

you beautiful.

I turn and 

smile.

Someone,

some man,

Finally 

sees who 

I am.

I am more

than green

earrings.

I am Heart.
