Love me/ Loathe me

Love me
With my marble white skin,
And my friendly smile,
My youthful grey eyes,
And my full firm lips.

Loathe me
With my weak skin,
And my crooked teeth,
My impotent eyes,
And my too feminine lips.

Love me
With my unique hair,
Burning embers amidsts fields of brown,
My open and honest face,
My kindly ways.

Loathe me
With my coarse hair,
So close to ginger despite the brown,
With my weak jaw,
And simpering manner.

Love me
And my lean body,
And strong hands,
Proof of my labours,
Chronicles of my life.

Loathe me
And my scrawny form,
My rough hands,
Proof that im still failing,
Chronicles of my weakness.
