Lipstick Traces

Absence makes the world a much lonelier place
but sometimes, we're all best left to ourselves
There's no redemption in regret
but it's always there when you need t

Lipstick traces of a former life never lie
Forever stained on the face of tomorrow

Who needs the snow and the pine?
Give me a bottle of amnesia any night
I'll sleep off any lasting memories
because I'm sick of these Groundhog Days

What happened to you?
Sometimes, I wish you were still around

Nice write, I like this ending part:
"I'll sleep off any lasting memories
because I'm sick of these Groundhog Days

What happened to you?
Sometimes, I wish you were still around"

Such a beautiful piece, and the line, "Lipstick traces of a former life never lie" is very moving. I love this.

The traces of a former life don't lie but the rose tinted spectacles do! How we can torture ourselves with the past. You capture it well.

Very true. We all go through such things. I guess its the sudden realization when we find the marks left behind.
Great write.

Very well writtin. It's also very true. No matter what we do in our life, we can always try to act like it never happened, but it still haunts us. It still has left it's mark. Really good comparison(:
