Painted Face

My painted face with four colors

Red lipstick with bronzer on my cheek bones,
Pitch black liner and lashes out in power,
Outstanding look of a beige based tone.

My painted face with four colors
A tainted smile that got you intrigued,
That face I do to compliment summer,
But those eyes they don’t lie, they couldn’t be included.

My painted face with four colors
Memories of twenty springs,
Countless days of winter wonders,
That’s plenty underneath my skin.

My painted face with four colors
The truth about today is a lie for tomorrow.
Deceiving you yet still a favor,
Some version of yesterday that I made you follow.

Those four colors which none of mine,
My face was always heavily painted.
Only if there is trust I could find,
You will get to see me naked.
