Deceptive Beauty
Behind all beauty lies a dark side within.
My beauty is my eyes; behind my eyes is where my dark side hides.
The need to find the dark side that lies behind my eyes where the sun can't shine puts me beside myself.
As you look in my eyes, my dark side hides; until you see my bad side.
My dark side can't hide behind my eyes; the unveiling darkness puts fear in you eyes.
And yet I am still beside myself, for I look in my reflection and still can't see the dark side of my eyes.
So the mystery of the dark side that lies behind my eyes remains.
