Her complexion is fair
Her stomach is small
Her arms are strong
She stands so tall

My complexion is pale
My skin clings to my bones
My arms are burned
I have been stoned

Her hair is pretty
Her eyes are catching
Her voice is sweet
Someone worth latching

My hair is choppy
My eyes are empty
My voice is cracking
Scars, there are plenty

Her emotions are there
Her heart is full
Her life is perfect
She is not dull

My emotions are gone
My heart is dead
My life is feels like
I am made of lead

Her friends are kind
Her parents are loving
Her boyfriend is true
No one is shoving

My friends aren't friends
My parents don't care
My boyfriend isn't real
It's falling out, my hair

Her body is strong
Her grades are good
Her name is cute
She acts as she should

My body is crumbling
My grades, hopeless
My name is poison
One deadly caress

She is pretty
I had thought
She is real
I am not
