Do I bother you
are you set in an uncomfortable mind
when all I ever do is speak what it is
that I am feeling at the moment
Beautiful soft skin giving way to
a comical countenance replacing the face
which once was resplendent with youth
now covered by pounds of makeup
I see things all the time that make me sick
like the way you look at me now
disdainfully scorning my forked tongue
as if the words were still not true
You still dress trashy, too tightly pressed
a surgeons natural body now replacing
the one I once found beautiful but now so
cosmopolitan, it has lost it's charm
But the worst change of all
is that within your mind, where you set yourself
aloft of others, not graced with your altered contours
leaving the hollow soul which is now you
So what if your *edit* stand on their own and
without a bra you look outstanding, unlike
the real women who you forsake in image
to be what you see as ideal
I cannot be beside you
nor do you seem to want me there
as I am imperfect, below the standards of the
male strippers whose eyes have no depth
So go on and live in this false world
where all have white white teeth and rock hard abs
while I go to live happily with one who is happy with herself
and shall never regret being with me

It's what's inside that's important, James. This is so powerful.
