One. Two. Three. Four. I see my flaws at the door You're shaking their hands and letting them in. I sit so close - skin to skin while you discuss my chopped hair and tarnished skin Blandly discussing how you want me thin. Five. Six. I blame the mirror for making me like this. Counting the marks that don't look so beautiful - don't shine or sparkle. Fighting the tears and biting my lip I look at you with reassuring eyes. Seven. Eight. Nine. I don't think you ever wanted to be mine. Ten.

Sitting and Counting

Counting the marks that don't look so beautiful - don't shine or sparkle. Fighting the tears and biting my lip I look at you with reassuring eyes. Seven. Eight. Nine.
