She comes home tired but must get ready
But still gets out her make up nice and steady
In the blink of an eye she throws on a dress
She sparkles and twirls as she wants to impress
She starts her make up Which is her true art
But she keeps it light to be smart
After all she wants to be liked for her heart
She tosses in foundation, lipstick, and blush
She must hurry, she's in a rush
On goes eyeshadow and mascara that shines
She throws on more as she has all kinds
Lastly she does her hair which is soft and long
But she's gets the feeling something is wrong
She ignores her fears and is ready to leave
A good first night is was she hopes to achieve
When she is finally done
She realizes this night wont be fun
She is scared for her life
For in that moment he pulled out a knife
In his eyes a dangerous smirk appears
She can't help herself but shred tears
And one punch she was on the floor
But of course there's more
Again and again she is hurting
She thought this night would just be flirting
Eventually after the screams he ran
She'll never forget that awful manGuys are supposed to ruin only your lipstick not smudge mascara.
