There’s no honesty like your honesty
In each pause and held back reply
My faults, my flaws, my imperfections
A thousand times magnified
If your eye happens to fall on me
While scanning the room for something more
It will be withdrawn instantly
From the sight of the one you abhor
Unworthy am I to breathe this air we share
I stand before you in tears
You see through my pathetic pain
As I wish to be as invisible as you make me feel
I lick in solitude these wounds you’ve inflicted
But in your presence they return
How much damage have you caused with your looks of distain
And after all these years, your complete lack of concern
I could stand before you bleeding
And you wouldn’t bother to look up
My scars too deep and disgusting
For you to ever touch
Others have come before and will come after
Speaking of me with desire in their words
But it is your approval, your acceptance
Your love for which I thirst
When I look at myself I see you
I see your look of repulsion and disgust
And any beauty or elegance
With surely fade into the dust
Everything to love about me has vanished
I’ve become too revolting to even define
There is nothing I can find that is uglier
Than myself reflected in your eyes
