Jan 2016
The thinnest of eyelids manage to cover the most intimidating pair of eyes
Not exactly white but pure still
Dark makeup figments line her lashes from root to edge
Eyebrows always the same curve
Reminiscent of basic architectural lines
How does she get them the exact way every single day?
A single piercing was never enough. No no. She even speaks of nose and lower lip rings. Who's to say she doesn't have a secret hole?
Well, if she does, finding it would mean going too far
She'll disagree but brighter colored lipsticks flatter her sunny skin shade better than dark gothic tones
She's better suited to a sunny beach than a dark alley
Bananas and peaches than walnuts and chocolate
But she disagrees
Her calm demeanor tells a lot but I know better
The tribal-designed choker on her neck says something different
Her hair runs all the way down. From her bold shoulders to her fragile back past her apple bottoms to the curved cups behind her knees
Sway
Sway
But she hates me
