Bathroom

by Nightlamp

"Tomorrow you will be alright" I comforted myself a near midnight. Dragging the towel, moist from the sink under my lower lids, I did never blink. Makeup and water or makeup and tears some may never now, as I that lonesome, quite autumn night* Though I lastly found with my poorly sight that under my lids there were, well how to describe? - I lowered the towel and looked even twice Nothing as makeup were pouring down my eyes but a still, matte constant. Sorrow Now what about tomorrow? I blinked and I shrank as I lowered my head in the sink. Oh but never were I capable of washing off ink.
