Beauty's curse

Beauty is so much more than what the eyes see,
intimacy is so much more than what the hands can feel.
The soul longs for you to notice its beauty,
The mind longs for the intimacy that deep conversations bring.
Very often the soul and the mind are ignored,
for their host's shell turns heads,
but sadly the shells of others care not for the precious jewels hidden beneath.
And that is beauty's curse.
