Looking For the Why's

She sat in the seat in front lipstick slightly smeared Threw a smile as she stumbled to her seat Looking round the light flirted with her eyes welcoming the attention Reflected glass of mobile makeshift mirror as covered shine for umpteenth time eye lids journeyed down and face frozen whispered of something lost or escaped Moment shook from head the beauty of sadness gone As we journey further her conversation overhead annoyed gargoyle at her side with pitted face threw his indignance her way then returned his chiselled gaze to the crossword of today Conversation done She evolved in the reflection of amber headlights trying to outrun pretend suns Her mist mirror self seem to nod in acceptance of the pain it never knows I Turn to the window Can not meet my eyes the person i despise The one who lies Never tries Hidden cries unresolved sighs me in my disguise looking for the why's
