I see beneath that painted glaze <br />That colours you so bright <br />I see beneath your golden hues <br />That emanates with light <br /> <br />You cover up so beautifully <br />Your pain beneath your shell <br />Of all the hardship that you bear <br />But I can always tell <br /> <br />That what you have underneath it all <br />Is worth its weight in gold <br />And want to take you in my arms <br />To stay and always hold <br /> <br />I’ll take your pain and lock it up <br />And place it out of sight <br />And spare you what is underneath <br />And not declare your plight <br /> <br />You keep your paint <br />And colour scheme <br />Forever to the fore <br />And I’ll let you know without a doubt <br />I’ll love you all the more<br /><br />jennifer jane pryce<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/colours-10/
