her face a botox mask
not capabable of a smile
or even a disdainful frown

and this is my Lady now?
my all American beauty?
given over wholly to Her body

In those darkest hours of night
when it is always the coldest
She is not there to cuddle for warmth

When you look into Her eyes
You do not see Her - "her!" anymore
Terrifying as if your heart is suddenly
gone
