Lipgloss plastered,
that way the smile stays stiff
and the frown can’t transfer.
Because really
–can a person truly kiss cracked lips
or love a breaking heart?
Make-up caked faces
hide the body’s imperfections,
in a world where everyone still searches
for “love everlasting”;
You once told me,
that before the altar is forever,
then said sorry,
that you really tried to mean it.
So really, it would seem,
there’s no such thing as forever
–and if love still exists,
she’s a cheat and a liar.

So tragically beautiful! Is it love who is a liar and a cheat or the ones whose lips she passes through… Keep writing, it’s part of your soul’s expression.
Thank you, Kristy! (:
