(A prose)

You can't love me because I don't look like her?
Because I don't have what she has?

But without all these skin and flesh, I look exactly like her.
We all do.

The sad thing is, you look for perfect chiseled jaws,
Flat stomachs,
Perfect hair,
Plump red lips,
Perfect structure of a girl,
That we forget to look pass through it all and realize we are all the same behind this mask.

So tell me, if we were all just skeletons walking,
And I showed you the same love that I am now,
Do you think you'd love me too somehow?
