He called me beautiful.
For the first time in my life.
I was called "beautiful."
By some guy who wasn't even sure
was remotely attracted to me.
And when I said thank you
He replied you're not welcome.
As he was only stating the obvious.
And as my eyes misted over with silent tears
I wipe away at them,
Praying silently that they do not fall.
Because of the wrath I know
shall follow them.
And yet til this day I find joy,
In the fact he called me....
Beautiful.
