Painted eyebrows strong scented perfume the kind old ladies wear A memory she stored in a fake gold locket mismatched socks doctor scholls shoes with the padded feet a flannel skirt matching blouse grey hair that has been over dyed yellowed teeth that resembles corn kernels she was flattered when he asked her to marry him thrirty years ago blonde hair green eyes strong perfume the kind that hypnotizes a man in love a memory she kept stored in the fake gold locket she wore fishnet stockings pink rouge painted her face before he got home dinner on the table the kids were asleep just the two of them he would hold her tight kiss her lips make love to her and then go to work the next day they lived their happy lives now thirty years later kids grown and moved away he's gone she is all alone left with her painted eyebrows strong perfume the kind that old ladies wear and all the memories she keeps stored in that fake gold locket she wearsBirth sign: Aries
