she sits beside you her rosy lips bright

you stop at a red light and look at her

she smiles at you her face pale covered with makeup

mascara. eye shadow. lipstick. eyeliner. 

and then tomorrow she'll  be covered in bruises 

blue bruises. purple bruises. 

then you will lean over to her and kiss her

telling her you love her

but she stopped believing you months ago

she stopped believing right after the first bruise
