Lipstick Alibis

Red lips

perfectly painted

a vivid hue

she speaks sweet words

but words can hurt sometimes too

and that's often what happens

when she speaks

and damn, she talks a lot

she talks too much

so she hurts too many people

that's why she doesn't have friends

because she's talked them all away

talked every single one away

every person she ever cared about

everyone she ever loved

goes away in the end

so the woman with the red lips

loses everyone

every time

every damn time

she opens her mouth.
