I'm looking in the mirror asking
"How do you put up with her"
She is nothing you expected
Everything reflected
Raw, natural
Without her adornments
Without the crystals in her ears
She cries out for something else
Something that takes her mind off
Of the internal
What is eating her alive
Chews on you too
You just can't feel it yet
She can't have him
Look too closely
Just in enough proximity
To see the shiny parts of her
The parts without scratches
Marks
Scars
She has lots
