“Straight”

She was wearing a light mint dress.

She walked steadily on 4 inch heels.

They were tan.

Her hair was perfectly straight.

So straight it was almost angular.

So straight…

It was parted to the side.

Black hair caressing her soft featured face.

I remember when she kept it curly,

But that’s not the point.

Her eyelashes were so long,

They hid her eyes.

They helped mask the true beauty of her.

Makeup applied so perfectly,

it didn’t look like makeup anymore.

it looked like her.

But maybe that was the whole point:

To trick everyone into thinking

she was nothing more then

makeup applied with a steady hand

and hair burnt too straight for comfort.
