May 2015
I would skipped dinner for a week
No a month
I would take out every piercing
I could wrap my skin in my insecurities
So you wouldn't see any scars

I would spin myself
on the tip of my melting point
just so you could feel heat
even if it slowly killed me

The crack of dawn
would be my new bestfriend
we would work tirelessly till we
till we were beautiful enough to wake up to

even if it was a wasted effort
Because you didn't tell me I looked nice today

But I would shed every pound till I was just a skeleton
If that would make you happy

Because you only fall for pretty girls
Maybe if I dyed my hair blonde
like your last girl
You would want me

I just cant help asking
If I was pretty, could I be yours?
