Head to toe,
Everything goes.
One mark here,
Another there.
But hey, if she's pretty, who's to care?

One more pound,
A different nose,
A smaller waist.
She looks in the mirror and makes a face.
Everything goes.

No more food,
Bigger *****.
There's nothing to lose.

Her perception of beauty sealed her fate,
It took her life,
Oh such a waste.
And now I remember the way she was,
And how I loved her "flaws".
