&quot;Sleep. Those little slices of Death: Oh how I loathe them...&quot;<br /> &quot;I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity...&quot;<br /> &quot;Deep into that darkness peering long I stood there. Wondering...Fearing...Doubting...&quot;<br /> - Edgar Allan Poe

In his reflection
He sees imperfection:
Dull brown hair
Past repair
Eyes too blue
And boring to
A large nose
That grows
Unkissable lips
Filled with foul language that slips
Skin so white
He must be filled with fright
Yet she disagrees
For she sees:
Hair that shines
With colors of all kinds
Crystal blue eyes
Reminding her of the skies
The cutest nose
Beautiful as a rose
Soft lips to kiss
Hard for her to resist
An olive complexion
Oozing perfection
