boys, and her flaws

Oh, don't you just love boys and their oblivious faces with the words they throw out?

saying that he doesn't know what to do

after she explained thoroughly with the stars forming in her eyes,

along with the sound of the wind kissing the tree branches while she spoke,

about what he did wrong and what he needs to change,

“What do you want me to say?”

“I don't know what you want me to say,

I don't know what to answer,”

“Maybe we should break up then,

I'm sorry, I don't know what to do,”

these foul words often slips out of his pretty soft lips,

and she would just sit there, nodding her head,

again, the ocean comes to say hi and blinding her eyes,

But it's okay, it's fine, he'll change, right?

He'll be a better person, he has potential, 

he loves me, he just doesn't know how to show it,

he's not perfect, but even with that flaws, I can't stop loving him,

and I'm broken yet he loves me,

and she's blind but he's the one who can't see,

Oh, don't you just love boys, and their incapability to love tenderly?

With the comments on her body,

Their saccharine “You're so pretty" that turns into "One more pic, please?" once it strikes nine,

Sure, they're calling this teen romance that actually has pure, innocent love inside it,

but who are these attractive, eye-catching jerks trying to fool?

Once she turns 15 you can't fool her with your candy lime kisses anymore,

But she's a teenager, and she's hot and beautiful, and there's nothing more attractive about her than her body,

Nothing is attractive about her rage toward her older brothers and her parents,

Nothing is attractive about the way she mourns whenever she gets let down by everyone around her whom she trusts,

And truly, nothing is attractive about the way she writes and draws, the way she speaks and plays with her words, the way she plays her guitar and sparks her ideas,

and nothing is attractive other than her physical appearance,

Because if she is worth more than her hourglass figure and her seductive doe eyes,

he wouldn't be so oblivious and incapable to see the burning fire within her and love her in the way she understand.
