Eyes
I can easily change my clothes
to a style that's more pleasing.
I'll ignore the number
that the tag reads.
You're worth that much
--even more--
to me.
I can easily change my body
to a frame that's smaller and thin.
I'll worship the number
that the scale reads.
You're worth that much
--even more--
to me.
I can easily change my hair
to a hue that's golden and light.
I'll turn a blind eye
to the damage it leaves.
You're worth that much
--even more--
to me.
I can easily change my make up
to look smokey, alluring, and brave.
I'll choose to be ignorant
of the time it needs.
You're worth that much
--even more--
to me.
I can easily change my glasses
to contacts of any shade.
I'll laugh off the pain,
the irritation and sting.
You're worth that much
--even more--
to me.
You could've easily opened your eyes
to look beyond my veneer, my disguise.
But you chose to be blind,
to tell me who to be.
You pulled the trigger,
--Bang--
you killed me.
