Nothing Special

By: Anonymous Web Poet

She certainly looks plain.
Really nothing special.
Her hair is normal
A face worn to middle age
Body thin, not curvaceous

She has an ordinary job
Ordinary clothes
A set of ordinary friends
She is really nothing special.
Yet, she catches my eye

She is kind, compassionate
Sweet, and intelligent
So, very funny, warm and loving
A woman who loves to give
Even to me, her friend

I always chose
Beautiful, young women
Who caused me pain
Temptresses
Who fear commitment.

The best woman
I ever had was
Beautiful and loving
But too afraid of being hurt
To let me give her all my love

If I ever have to choose again
I will look below the surface
I learned the hard way that
Beautiful women
Who are afraid of intimacy

And keep you at a distance
Hurt you
Before you can hurt them
And are really
Nothing special.
