Nier
You're so perfect
Lips that were made
By kissing a rose petal,
Opalline eyes that will be
Any colour they please
Don't get me started on your hair,
As soon as you turn your head
In the light, it becomes a live,
quivering mass of gold.
sequinned shine runs all
through the straight
to a slight wave.

Lord help me,
every time I look at you,
Struck by shock, I'm
The frog that met the princess.
Except, whoever you're next to
Feels like the pea.
Set one foot in a room,
It's already yours. The sea
Wouldn't let itself touch you,
the Moon's nowhere to be found
Whenever you're out.
You were made by afternoon itself.

I wonder, could your
Clear, smooth skin ever withstand
A blow like this? What happens
when you cry, do your lashes glow?
If strands of hair were torn
From your skull, when again
Would they grow?
When it happens,
I feel afraid; when you
Hurt me, even as I bleed,
I'm worried.
Broke my tooth, now you break my nail
I fear: who will protect my little girl?
