More Than Just A Pretty Face

I see you as a burden

just like the others

I’m terrified of your

capacity to watch me

and peace of mind

is running away from me.

I tell them the story of you,

like your perception of me

Was so shallow yet your

eagerness to own me

could kill the real in me.

I see the way

you look at me,

The way you stare

at me as if I am naked.

What you see in me

is just a surface.

I’m more than just

a pretty face

but sad to say

You just need me

for your fantasy

and our memories

is something

I want to erase but

Don’t worry darling,

With all that

I tell them the story of you

just like a hit song,

“Even almost got married

And for him*, I'm so thankful”
