the girl who fell in love with the mirror

bloody, tear-stained veil lines her neck.
dress made from silkened ruffles hangs from her shoulders.
strawberry curls frame her rouge-smeared cheeks
fall down to the small of her back.
eyes naked from the salt
lips pouting, pinched red.
fingernails nubby and bloody, bitten raw
painted toes, fuchsia, beautiful.
hips poking, skin tight, veins

if only you could see how pitiful you look.
