I looked at her, taking in her beautiful features; her diamond-shaped face, her brow shining locks, her perfect skin, everything.

But then I dug a little deeper, I could see the scars, bruises and cuts; all her insecurities that come to the surface of her skin.

I could see what she wanted, desired, needed.
I took some steps back, noticed the brinks of the mirror.

I realized, my sole died long ago.
