But what if

What if?

What if they were right?

Never be sure

Whether it's true or not

What if he left and she played your game?

Would it change anything?

Would it change the dye in your hair?

Or the colour of your pretty gray expensive contacts?

What if you had given them a reason?

Would it matter?

Is a reason enough to stay?

In your oh so mahogany doorway

Satin sheets and blooming lights

Clap clap

What if all the clocks in this entire world went off and all the calendars were ripped and you were the only time left

What would you tell them?

Would you lose track of the time that they had left?

Lose it in your cover-up L'Oréal

Painted on eyelashes and dashed on coloured lips

And in the grab

In the mosh pit of time

When they reminisce on your face

Your painted on face

Will they cry and ask for their age?

Will they smile and fill out the paperwork at the doctors office?

Cause what other choice do they have?

What if you were all alone?

You walked the school halls alone

The people at the cash register were dust figurines

Because your mind was lonely it was bored

Dust can dance

Dust can point its fingers

It can paint portraits

And you are the model

The only model

Because you are alone
