the only way
she could tear herself apart
was to rip the skin
off her lips
until they were bare
lighter pink and
unprotected
no barrier of skin
from the softness
of her lips
she picked at the skin
till her lips bled red
scars and scabs
patterning her lips
and when there was no skin left on her lips
she'd rub her top teeth
over her bottom lip
and instead of biting at the skin on her lip
she'd bite into her lip
her top teeth
sinking into her pale lips
destroying the softness
that once portrayed who she was
a new kind of beauty
ripped at every edge
but is a masterpiece
scarred lips
sad eyes
freckled skin
gappy teeth
she's a grunge girl.
