Be Pretty

by antiquity-vaircome

Her beauty is astounding It leaves my heart pounding I won't bore you with the details But when she walks past an angel hails I try to explain this feeling How she sets my head reeling But she pushes me away "Ugly got too close to me today" She doesn't care that I'm a girl And she sets my head in a whirl It's my look she objects to The cruelty of nature, through and through Every day I try, I do To get those thre words out "I love you" Every day she shows me The dirt is the only place I can ever be "Ugly. I'm pretty. You're not." I don't care a jot Her hands are filthier than mine Disinfectant doesn't change a detail so fine "Ugly. I'm pretty. You can never be." It's true, I know, as I fall to on knee She looks perfect but her heart is flawed There's only one way she can be cured "Pretty. I'm Ugly. You should be too. I only do this because I love you The knife slices through her skin I hold her frame, so gentle and thin "I'm Ugly now, you're to blame." Through her bandages her eyes are aflame "You were always Ugly, to the core Be Pretty my love, as never before."
