I could never be her.
I could never be pretty and dainty,
Delicate,
And calm.I could never be her.
Not passive, or sweet to satisfy you.
Not seductive,
Or peaceful.I could never be her.
Cute,
Yet the most beautiful human you've seen thus far.
Gorgeous and flattering to have beside you.
You always placed me behind you,
No one could see me there.I could never be her.
The woman you show off like a trophy,
A trophy you got by playing a game I know all too well.
I could never be her.
The woman you turn the lights on for,
Open the door for,
Smile for,
Be gentle for.I could never be her.
Satisfying.
Sultry.
Serene and sane,
Weak minded and submissive.I could never break my back for you,
Kiss your feet.
Hold your hand even when you scream those things at me.
Drink the poison you call fun,
Be the girl you say is the one.
I could never be her.I could never be her.
My hair could never lay flat,
My eyes never turn blue.
My skin can never be as thin.I could never be her.
For she is not me,
And I am not her.
For she is not the strength a man like you needs,
But she is the weakness you desire.I could never be her.
