underneath everything i thought you were
underneath everything i wanted you to be
there's what you really are
you didn't even realize i saw it
you were up there
telling everyone how to be beautiful
told me you were not
underneath your make up
an old withered bag of flesh
trying so hard
to hange on
to what you once were
long past your prime
trying so hard to hide your lines
powdering your legs to hide your veracose
make up that only spells vanity
porcelin to ash
you still saturate my world
even after you destroyed
even after you became it
