shade shift.

the image was proposed to me as a child,
and up until now, i had never replaced it.
as a result, i've always imagined mine to be perfectly
symmetrical and bright red.
tomato red.
MAC captures the hue...i'm
always hesitant of kissing when i wear
it. the pigment bleeds...
things get messy.
we get messy.


now i'm twenty four.
and i guess this is apart of growing up...
forgetting how that used to look,
and now understanding how it really looks.
its no longer symmetrical...i figure its
pretty damn deformed and misshaped.
the color has deepened...its now closer
to crimson.

i think its ugly.
