Flawless
Why can't I reach out to you?
Touch that flawless face
Embrace your perfection
Live vicariously through your eyes
What do you see?
Are you capable of seeing me as I am?
Do you only see what I put out to you?
I question whether you're real
I wonder if that's you
What's under that mask of perfection?
Where do you cry from?
You look too perfect for a tear
You seem incapable of sadness
Incapable of fear
Even incapable of love
What do you see in the mirror?
Are you there?
Are you alive?
Were you ever?
