The Conditioner Is not In Your Hair, But In Your Mind

You would just die if I were to see you
without your face on
That much time spent in front of the mirror
should be eligible for punishment
dim the lighting and hand me a glass of water to,
wash down this key
so I can keep you locked away
you know I'd never hurt you
just like I know you'd probably ruin me
if only given the opportunity
holding one another
as you cry on my shoulder
in a bathroom that reeks of perfume
with the powder from your nose
scattered all over
like the settled dust from a fast getaway
you've accustomed yourself to this
pseudo-beauty
which you apply everyday
and it's no wonder why
the absence of it makes you seem ugly
... Excuse me while I change
your tears stained my shirt with black residue
and I'm sorry I yelled at you...
... I feel so sorry for you
