Aphrodite.

Emotions run high with the tide

The pain I see in her eyes

The agony there

hidden by laughter and smiles

Just one good day would be completely worth her while

And Day by day

she hides the contents of her heart

The world outside can't prepare for the magnitude of her art

She finds solace in singing and songs

Spilling her life in the words that she writes

A heart riddled with sorrow

And no way to find the light

All she craves is peace for one night

A beauty such as hers is rare

Far and few between

The shadows of her soul

Leaking out from between the seams

Patched together by a broken heart and pipe dreams

She's magical in her own right

Magical and broken is what makes her more than she seems.

There's an air of mystery surrounding her

It's a calm filled with intrigue

Passion and resilience

Mixed with promise

and disproportionate symmetry

She shines like the stars in the night sky

Overcoming adversity

She flies

High in the air

Brought down by none

She's got strong wings

And she dances to the beat of her own drum

If only there was a way to capture the essence of what makes her who she is

But do so would dim down

What is her very existence

She's an anomaly in what has become

Such a selfishly dependent world

She is Aphrodite in human form

And yet She is all goddess

not merely a girl.
