She’s digging through the bottom of her brand new leather handbag
Seeking, finding, searching, yearning
Digging out a compact
Her lipstick
Your wallet
She’s touching up her makeup and checking her complexion
Anything to make sure someone, anyone is
Checking her out
Better if everyone is
You are
She draws you in
Tells you she loves you
Because she loves you
Tells you she hates you
Even though she doesn’t
Until you do
You hate you
You hate her
And the blur and haze
And the blaze she leaves in her wake
She smiles at the flames
Bright red smile perfectly in place
Because she’s always topping off her pain
With a damn
Fine
Face.
