Tag: you always used to say i was beautiful

if you saw me today, 
would you still think
i was beautiful? 
if you saw my shaved
head and trembling hands, 
would you still 
not stay? 
if i walked by you
now, in a shirt and slacks, 
would you even realize 
you had kissed these 
unpainted lips? 
if you saw me today, would
you be grateful you left
me?
