Flawed Facial Features




Rip out my hair,
Strand by strand.

And It’s essence shares the texture
And gossamer patterns
Like those of cobwebs,
Feeling ever so brackish
To my ebony fingernails.

These pallid fingers
Scratch at scars and imperfections,
Beneath the fine, glossy surface
As it shimmers in the moonlight.

Each beauty you see,
Is just another flaw
In my eyes.

Empty ocular orbs portraying betrayal,
Void of their once bright,
Shining sun.

Where stars twinkled chimerically,
And energy was once relinquished,
These lifeless, dull entities,
Remain in dusty sockets.
