tears roll down my cheeks as i type these words.
maybe, just maybe, he'll talk about me how he talks about her if i was prettier.
maybe, just maybe, i'll be as dainty as the girls he can woo with one wink of an eye.
maybe, just maybe, i'll be empty enough to be carried in small arms bigger than mine.
maybe, just maybe, if i starve myself
to death
he may care enough
to love me.
