ode to lip gloss

When my lips are dry,

what do I turn to?

When my lips have lost their shine,

or they don't taste like some sort of fruit,

what is the one thing that never lets me down?

You, O sweet lip gloss.

You restore the shine, the flavor, the life

to my otherwise dull, flavorless lips.

In my youth you were Bonne Bell Lip Smackers

and now our love affair continues thanks to

Clinique, Hard Candy, and so many more...

When I'm on the brink of being chapped,

you are ever-changing, ever-improving

and ever in my heart.
