She changed for him
He said she was too wistful,
So she used her lipstick
To give herself a smile
When he told her she was too garrulous
She changed for him
She shut her lips tightly
Hoping to be the display doll he wanted
He told her she cared more about work
Than she ever did for him; so,
She changed for him
Replacing her keyboard for an apron
She could not see herself in the mirror
She hid inside the toy person he desired
She hadn’t realized how much
She changed for him
