Look Closely
Look at me
At my green eyes and my blonde hair
I'm beautiful
Aren't I?
Look closer
Look at my face
Revolutionised to your likings
To your expectations
You like blue
So I sealed my green eyes away in a case file
A homicide that will never be solved
A cold case you will forget about
But will always linger on my mind like brain freeze
You like brown
So I drenched my hair in crude oil
And soil from your garden
And coffee from your kitchen
Look closely
That I do
As I watch your head turn away
Your presence fade away
And my blue eyes and brown hair
Remain
