Portrait of a lady
Beauty.
As far as the eye can see.
A shell you sell,
On a magazine cover.
Ugliness.
Blemish your complexion,
Disregard without affection.
A castaway, cast away again.
Given a portrait.
Withdrawn by what you have drawn.
A caricature, a mime.
Erase the imperfections, the lines.
Black and white,
Grey and blue,
The plainer things
Look best on you.
Beautyless queen,
Cry your ugly tears.
We came here to
confirm your fears.
Straight to the heart,
Like a beauty dart.
