Come closer,

but only to the part of me

that I've made beautiful.

the part that photographs well,


Come closer,

but only to the part of me

that's been edited, rehearsed,

where the light hits just right,


Come closer,

I promise I'll make it feel real.

I'll mirror your needs,

and keep the temperature just warm enough
to trick us both.

You won't see the pain
beneath the glitter,

the part that's starving,
but serves a feast.

I'll be radiant.
I'll be unforgettable.
and you'll swear

you've never met someone
quite like me.
