Lipstick and Blood

She leans in and kisses the mirror
And leaves a lipstick stain
Her way of pretending she loves herself
Along with a plastic smile to hide the pain
Fake laughter follows her movements
Life a perfume that's too strong
How much longer till you take the hint
That something in her life is wrong
She tosses away her mascara
Tears will only wash it away
But she carefully applies a rosey blush
To hide her skin's ashen gray
Pencils and razors, powders and puff
Used to paint a happy face
Perfect image, but a hurting soul
She hides behind her make-up masquerade
She leaves lipstick on the mirror
And blood stains on the floor
She longs for the day
She won't have to hide anymore
