I can’t tell you you’re beautiful.
It wouldn’t be true.
I can’t say the word at all, especially to you.
Too bland, too plain, entirely overused
It’s meaning obliterated and purpose confused
Used on soulless souls without purpose or plight
Looked on and trampled for merely eyesight
Thrown around to serpents and sparkles
A word formerly used only for fantastic marvels.
No, I can’t tell you you’re beautiful;
It wouldn’t be true.
