Analysis of Skin
Darling, do not tell me that you are more beautiful with those drawings on your skin. You've convinced yourself that they mean so much to you, and no one can even begin to understand, but I want you to know that the real beauty of an individual is more than simply skin deep. That is why the ink on your skin does not impress me. Everyone has stories
and scars -I
just choose not to wear mine on the outside.
