Leslie

Life is full of pleasure
  And pain as well
   Sometimes you're in Heaven
   Sometimes you're in hell

Everybody at some point
   Gets hurt or deceived
   Making us feel foolish
   For what we believed

Some call it being weak
   Maybe it makes you strong
   To be able to endure
   So much for so long

Look in the mirror
   The beauty you see outside
   Is the reflection
   Of your beauty inside

In times when you feel
   Your desires won't come true
   Remember there's somebody out there
   Looking for someone like you

Even if your heart is broken
   In time, it will heal
   And one day you will find
   A love genuine and real

Author's Note
A poem written for my ex-girlfriend's cousin from years ago. She always tried to do the right thing in her relationship. She had the hardest time believing the downfall wasn't her fault. Eventually, she did come to realize that it takes the effort of both to make a relationship work.
