Can't you love a girl like me?

In dim light

wearing black body paint

eyes closed, mascara smeared

making swirls of art on my face

hair, dark, damp, with a little mess

scars decorating my bear back

a cut on the lower lip

cracks running down my chest

I open my eyes to see you, my love

when our gaze meet, I blink

my orbs turn glassy, just like the stars ,

they glimmer.

- she repeated to herself as she could do nothing but smile at the distance stretched between them.
