Can't Change Me

She upsets me

Her face

The way she laughs

The way she talks

She's like the piece of hair

That is never in the right place

Why does she even wear that

Why does she look like that

Looking at her

Makes me sick

Pity fills me

And then disgust

No one truly gets her

I sure don't

I'm looking at her now

And suddenly

I can't take it anymore

I move in

Preparing to

Shake her out

Of being herself

But as I move forward

She does too

I reach out to grab her

And her hand reaches out

Following my movement

I place my hand against hers

And instead of feeling

Warmth and skin

My hand is met with

Glass

Smooth

Reflective glass

I look at her

She looks back at me

Our eyes follow each other

I can't change her

I can't change me
