She's got one of those faces
I always wanted.
Heart shaped, chin pointed
Like the mouth of a tear.
I'll be an androgynous lion
Of liquid film creeping closer,
Closer until I suck
The blood of her pretty.
Unlined, untimed, I'll be
The girl again I never was.
Drinks free, men leaning in.
The scar on my temple torched.
Other scars running scared too.
Inward, outward, I'll appear
The lack of everything I've been.
Beauty like a blunt pin,
Beating back, pain free again,
Unmutilated, bring me in.
