Superior

There is evil
In the eyes
We hardly
See,
Bordered by
Thick mascara,
Never easy to
Forget.

There is beauty
In the lips,
Red as hot coals,
Burning
Forever.

But worst is
The evil beauty
Of the words
That escape the
Mouth,
Biting
And leaving internal
Scars.

Awesome.
Not to be facetious, but this makes me think of Disney villains, one in particular.
