She was not beautiful

Nothing about her was extraordinary Nothing about her made her stand out in a crowd.

She grew up in a family of six and being the eldest she learned responsibility at an early age.

As she grew stronger and brighter, she instilled a sort of light and cheer to whomever she met.

She was not beautiful, but she made others feel better about themselves.

She meets a rebel boy who thinks he is all man befriending him, she teaches him.

She teaches him how to read and a little boost, the ' man' needed to go to college,

They become fast friends and she fell fast in love with her rugged handsome student.

The ' man' then finds himself in love with a girl

A girl who was so beautiful Her hair was a hallow of light around her Her eyes the bluest blue of the ocean. ' Like an angel' he tells his tutor ' like a beautiful angel.'

The girl swallows a lump at her throat

She was not beautiful She did not posses the heart of the one he loved, but she did not care. As long as he was happy, she would be happy, or so she tried to.

She helped write the most beautiful letters to his angel

All the time visioning it was she herself receiving those very letters.

And so the girl helped him choose the right clothes, say the right words, and buy the right gifts for his angel.

His angel brought him much joy and much pain to the girl who cried behind her smiles. But that never stopped her from giving more than she will ever receive.

Then one day, all of h--- broke loose
