Liquid Lips: A series of haikus

A dark tale of the never ending effects of long-wearing lipstick

You’re a raging teen
Venturing outside my lips
A permanent act

Forever staining
The curves of my cupid’s bow
Marks sepia red

Wiping you away
Is the scar on my right knee
Long-lasting affair

My pores, honeycombs
You have sucked out the sweetness
Now drained, parched, lifeless
