Life would be easier if you were here
It’s 10:00 PM
now – bedtime for an overworked college student. I go to my bathroom and stand
in front of the full sized mirror for a few minutes, staring the bags under my
eyes until I finally decide to take my face off. Brick rose and alabaster flow
down my cheeks into the sink creating a watercolor masterpiece. The bags under
my eyes are covered with a mixture of mascara and eyeliner and when I look back
up at the mirror I see the devil. But then I find my eyes amidst the massacre
and splash cold water on my face to wipe away the day’s mask.
As I slide under
the covers I notice
I’m all alone.
