monochromatic skin

i could smell the hairspray
from the girl in front of me
she was trying to look prettier than usual
for the boy she hadn’t even met yet
had a bow clipped to the side of her part
and a smile made of glass
that could steal a boys heart right from the start

you wouldn’t think she was artistic
with the way she looked around
or by the way she stood so close
but shes a piece of art by being herself

i bet the corners of her pillows are torn
and when she looks at her feet while shes walking
she doesnt know where shes going
but the cracks in the sidewalk
seem to give her a little bit of direction

when it rains
she goes for walks
and when it’s cold
she can make it warm
inside
of you
she just likes to please please please you
