Hairspray

when i fall apart in the darkness

            you put me back together with hairspray

when i am pale from this sickness

            you brighten me with lipstick prints

when i think it’s time to go

            you keep me here with your pantyhose

when i want to drink myself to sleep

            you intoxicate me with your black dress

when i am without you I remember

            your hairspray

your lipstick

your pantyhose

your black dress

and just from the thought of you

i am together

i am bright

i am here

i am intoxicated
