Trope #1
She is without blemish,
beyond compare,
weightless and thoughtful,
and a dangerous stare
she can heal with a wink
and wound with her eyes
she's got bionic peepers
so that's no surprise
Trope #2
She is so fallen,
we can't but ignore,
her face is a mess of scars
and she's a bore
There isn't redemption
In her simple arms,
what she lacks in grace
she also lacks in charms
Reality #3?
It's not like a label
Would ever suffice
Simply calling her pretty
doesn't remove your device
Maybe she's wonderful
Maybe she's not
But to bundle her up
Just shows off YOUR rot
She's a creature of habit
Just like you or me
But she has her own mind
Just listen and see
But every woman's a sculpture
And every woman has dreams
Save her a dance
And share deepest seams
