Superficial Skin

Don't stand too close I have something to hide Makeup and lotion masks the wrinkles on a good day, high moisture Appreciate an antique from afar Like a great watercolor the fine scratches and colors blend by the eye at a distance. Don't stand too close Don't enter my reality.

The antique simile is very good! Obfuscation does blanch nature! Enjoyed your well conceived verse!
