but not what makes me care.
The small oval face
but not my personal tastes.
Eyes of dark green
but not what they've seen.
Olive soft skin
but you don't know my kin.
Glossy pink lips
but not from where they've sipped.
Rosy cheeks
but not the tears they've felt leak.
My mothers nose
but none of my woes.
You only see my reflection
but none of my affection.
Yours sincerely
The real me.
