who do you see?

take a look at her
what do you see?
who do you see?

the clothes she wears?
the shortest of skirts?
the tightest of tops?
the highest of heels?
the heaviest of makeups?

the things she says?
the cusses she uses?
the diva talk?
the whispers she makes?

the flirt in her?
where her hands are?
the way her body leans?
the look in her eyes?
the scent of her perfume?

do you see the biatch i see?

or do you see the other side?

the desperation in her eyes?
the emptiness in her talk?
the limp as she walks?
the shyness in her gestures?
the mask she puts on?
the walls she puts up?
the hands she holds out?
the plea in her voice?

look closer,
you might just see
the inner her.

i just need you to hold me,
is that too much to ask for?
apparently so.
