Mint green nails, trailing across your faded black tattoos.
The ability of bandanas to cover up out grown roots that I'm
too broke to touch up.
Long showers when no one is home to yell at me for wasting water.
The way your lips feel against mine, so safe and familiar,
and how your mouth tastes like a bad habit.
The white of battle scars against my summer tan.

Mint green nails, trailing across your faded black tattoos.
The ability of bandanas to cover up out grown roots that I'm

Long showers when no one is home to yell at me for wasting water.
The way your lips feel against mine, so safe and familiar,
and how your mouth tastes like a bad habit.
The white of battle scars against my summer tan.
