i hate his eyes
leathery doe eyes
that look at me admiringly
and study my every move
and hold his soul
i loathe his veiny arms
arms with the veins
that i trace with my fingertips
like a road map
i abhor his legs
the legs
with the bruises and gashes
and a million strands of hair
and a million stories
i hate every atom
that makes up
his disgusting body
but the truth is
im a liar
