Beauty
That which escapes my grasp
Beauty
All that I know, still not enough
Beauty
Two syllables that cast a division spell
Beauty
Splitting humanity right in two
Beauty
I hate you
Beauty
Forsaken my thoughts and my spirits
Beauty
That which gives nature its power, and yet gives none to me
Beauty
May I rest my head on thine shoulder
Beauty
Destroy all that I have left.

The author's comments:
I decided to write this after I saw that the theme for this years art challenge was beauty and I decided to try and show how superficial it can be, like the dark side of beauty.

Please comment and such I want feedback it's only the second draft and still sounds weird to me.
