Red



I bought a red lipstick
In the shade that you like
The kind worn for seduction
Deep, temptress red
The red I'm not allowed to wear
If you're not around
"For my eyes only," you warned
The red that will look even better
If I get my hair dyed blonde
"Imagine that; blonde hair, red lips," you said, 
"And because you're covered -
No one knows what you look like -
Underneath all that but me..."

I remember
All I can do now is remember

Oh, guess what they've named
This red lipstick that I've bought
In the shade that you like?
'Heartbreaker'
Like you...
