See that clown over there
I am nothing like

He wears way too much
make up

I tone it down

You? Tone it down?
she said

Why wear make up at all
she said

was this not what I
should have used to
cover up regret?
I fret















by the made up
looks on our faces

I could tell
the truth was not comming out

any time
soon




for 12 years
they lied
a life


on the final day we looked eye
to eye for the first time ever


my hunch was
confirmed


her eyes
really were brown


pupils


dark as hell

sometimes it's easier to just pretend til the very end

"by the made up
looks on our faces "
.......
"for 12 years
they lied
a life "

Such a rich descriptions for deception and a powerful testimony to how we can see people as mirrors of what we ourselves want to believe.
