Domestication

 

She's got rocket-fueled eyes,

Full of the wonders of the world,

That stare into the headlights.

A sophisticated kind of girl.

 

She's got medusa-style hair,

Full of little snakes and curls,

That asks if you dare to stare.

A frustrated kind of girl.

 

She's got needle-sharp nails,

Full of medicine that swirls,

That exist to make him wail. 

A domesticated kind of girl.

 

She's got a leopard-skin brain,

Full of lies that can't unfurl,

That twists in blissful pain.

An out-dated kind of girl.

 

She's got skin-and-bone hands,

Full of tears and filthy pearls,

That inflict a hurt he can't understand.

A degenerated kind of girl.

 

 

Sophisticated,

Domesticated,

Degenerated girl.

Great job! I really enjoyed reading this :)
Every stanza creates her image...beautifully.
