The Unread Book

What kind of person would you be
If there were only certain things you could see
Only recognizing beauty on the outside
And disregard the beauty inside
You can't love someone just for their looks
The outside appearance like a closed book
All lovely and pretty on the cover
But would the book be thrown away for another
Another, more gorgeous than the last
More stunning than any woman in the past
Would you read this book or just like the rest
When she opens her mouth just hope for the best?
