I stood in front of the mirror Pulling the pins from my hair Letting it cascade around my shoulders. I took off my face Wiping the day’s mascara from my eyes Blotting the lipstick from my mouth Splashing warm water and bubbles Washing the makeup away. I noticed you standing there In the doorway watching me I turned my face away You gathered it in your hands. Turning my gaze to yours You told me I was perfect As the makeup ran down the drain Only I was left. |
