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.
