You are no

Cosmopolitan lady's day off

Not sophisticated

Your name deceives those

Who assume you to be

Supermodel-esque

You're torn and frayed

Wrinkled at odd angles

From where I was cramped

On long bus rides

With nothing to keep me company besides

The lingering smell of my pillow

That rests on your shoulders.
