the Chanel lip gloss
she wore could never
cover the loss of love
through kisses she's
encountered in her life.
his cologne still
lingered on her pink
Gap sweater as she
tried to erase his image
from her mournful mind.
reflections of life through
92 white pearls that once
shined joyfully from her neck
only show depictions of evil
doings and miscontent.
a solid gold ring with
a heart in the middle
slowly remind you of
what she longs for,
can you give her love?
