• She was admired by all,
    The flowing black hair gently caressed by the wind,
    The gleaming sapphire eyes that could captivate anyone,
    The graceful movements that portrayed nothing but perfection,
    Her passive face that emitted nothing but politeness,
    She was the perfect lady,
    But I know better.

    I have seen it; the other side,
    Her beautiful hair ruffled due to a fit of hysteria,
    Her eyes that flashed with rampaging emotions,
    The jerky movements as she desperately tried to convey her feelings,
    Her once still face that suddenly became animated,
    Her change from static to dynamic.

    I have seen it,
    Her lovely tresses shaking with fiery,
    Her angry gaze that could melt even the sun,
    The clenched fists hanging by her sides,
    Her stunning face that twisted with anger,
    Her change from tranquil to fierce.

    I have seen it,
    Her brilliant locks trembling with fear,
    Her flawless eyes that widened with terror,
    The erratic movements as she tried to fend off invisible enemies,
    Her magnificent face that contorted with fright,
    Her change from clam to panic.

    I have seen it,
    Her wonderful tresses swaying in pain,
    Her deep eyes that communicated only sadness,
    The tenseness of your body as she attempted to remain passive,
    Her awe-inspiring features quivering as she cried,
    Her change from composed to heartbreaking.

    I have seen it,
    Her mischievous hair breaking free from its usual place,
    Her bright eyes that glowed with pleasure,
    The energetic movement that exuded glee,
    Her smiling face that displayed pure happiness,
    Her change from sadness to ecstasy.

    I have seen it,
    Her marvelous mane shining magnificently,
    Her warm eyes that radiated kindness,
    The gentle touch that robbed your mind of anything else,
    Her loving face that flowed with affection,
    Her change from cold to warm.

    She was admired by all,
    She was seen by none but me,
    Her many shades,
    Her subtle changes,
    Her hidden self,
    She was truly the embodiment of perfection.
