Pretty Angel


I am no pretty angel

my hair is black
my eyes are gray
and I know what you're looking at
you do not have to say

I am no pretty angel
my voice is hoarse
my touch is coarse
and I know what you're hoping for
sweet and smooth of course

I am no pretty angel
my body is hard
my curve is severed
and I know what you're waiting for
soft and yielding underneath

I am no pretty angel
but my heart is as pure
my tears are as fine as rain
soft caressing your face
when it falls from grace

I am no pretty angel
yet my smile reaches my eyes
my heart dutily sings
butterfly kisses to your ears
when my kisses nurse your tears

I am no pretty angel
though my love is taken for granted
it continues to flourish
filling the emptiness you claim
never stop never end

I am no pretty angel
today I cry for your sadness
in time I'll smile for your happiness
will one day you actually see
that I am indeed... a beauty?
