mirror
April 9, 2014
that girl in the mirror
is smoky
curvy
mysterious.
with a smile that says
she knows your secrets
and has some of her own besides.
(someone forgot to tell her:
that sexy eye makeup
is just smudged mascara
that didn't last the day.
those nightclub-singer curves
are just the fat she hates so much.
that air of mystery
can be put down to those wild curls.)
but the girl in the mirror
is smoky
curvy
mysterious
and for a moment
i pretend she's me.
