Pretty

To Louise, who I lie to all too often.

As friends,
We have insult wars,
Which I do not
Take to heart.
Neither should you.

But this
Is an apology
For every time
I have called you
Ugly
Stupid
Fat
Something inappropriate
Retarded
Something else inappropriate
More inappropriate things.

If we had compliment wars,
I would shower you with truths.
You suit your hair like that,
Your eyes really sparkle,
Your laugh is so infectious,
And the like.

Sadly,
We do not have compliment wars.
So,
Your face reminds me of a
Dog's butt!
