I remember the first time I saw your collar bone
And you thought you looked so
**** fine
You thought you'd come a long way
You'd worked so hard
You even claimed
That you wanted to look good
For me

But I never really knew
What you meant by that
Because you always looked
Good to me
And I fell in love
With your body
Just the way it was
The day I first saw you

And I hated the way
You'd turn your face
When I'd whisper in the serenity
Of three a.m.
Just how truly beautiful
I knew you were

Didn't you own a mirror?

But now
I stare at your collar bone
And your hip bones
And I can't help thinking
One day soon
I'll see your rib cage
And all of the things
That remind me
Of how human we all really are

And how we're all just
Piles of muscles and bones
And how one day
One of us will die
Leaving the other behind
Broken and alone

And maybe you think
That's the most
Attractive version of yourself
That you could ever possibly be…

But to me you're just
Fading away
And pretty soon
I'll be left
Without someone to love.
