and she strives for perfection
all the while, longing for affection
it's impossible to do
but somehow she always pulls through
he can't realize that the look in her eyes
isn't confidence
it's exactly the opposite
her heart is completely split open
all her bones are broken
beneath pale flawless skin
she keeps it all in
trusting no one in the end
