Blended into the blank white smoothness
Of another person's face,
You'll find a pale, grey shadow of pain.
And tucked into the corners of a red
Smiling mouth, you'll see the remnants
Of an orgy of tears.
Somewhere deep inside the darkest eyes
You've ever known, the questions lurk
That will someday overwhelm you.

.

I am perfect.
I am beautiful.
I love you.
And you will discover
One day
That I lie.
