Him


Full lips Full hips

they taunt

they tease.

Floral shirts Flowy skirts 

they whisper

they stare.

Why can't they see her?

Bright eyes toned thighs

they sneer

they mock.

Smooth skin dimpled chin

they gasp

they point.

Beauty grace charm life hope love strength honor courage

woman. 

 Bruised lips broken hips

they kick

they stomp.

But all they see is him.

Why can't they see her?
