Let you not replace
A tried and pure face
With mask of makeup;
Well-done hair,
For guy. Upon boy.
Who does not care.
Lest you should forget
A life of regret
With men who care not;
Bringing out your tears,
For fun. Twisted boy.
Who fills you with fears.
Least of all, you're vain-
A sign of your pain
With looks as your friends;
To yourself: "It's all
Okay. Just a boy,
Who takes me, a fool"
Look
Down at your hands, and up to the mirror.
See yourself smile, now getting clearer.
Your artistry, grand.
Whilst he's just as bland
Your face- a canvas;
Open, but not blank
And for that, you have him to thank.
Now so skilled, not shy
You'll charm any guy.
What is to conceal? While I cannot say,
"I know now for sure, you look nice today."
