False Beauty

I see beautiful women everyday
But they mean nothing, only images in my eyes
As you are the culmination of all that is true, beauty, soul, and love
As I have seen you a million times, I would kill to see you only once more
Instead of all these false figures, illusions of possibilities I can’t fathom
Nothing of truth comes from their eyes,
Nor their words, which fall like leaves in the wind
Now their skin, false security for the night
As I see you, feel you, hear you,
Your heart radiates truth
Every time beauty strikes, I turn my eyes, for their lies deceive the smartest of men

Tears,

This has a message that i like, however the way it is laid out seems to jumble it all together. I would like to see you re-structure this for a more powerful and easier read. I can offer suggestions if you need me too, but in the end, it's your voice to be heard, and how you want it said. Happy writing tink
