Morning rush II

Every morning
I stand
Before her
And I roll my eyes
At all the truths and tells

Reading between
The lines
The shadows
Veins
And blotches

Then I set to work
Dabbing
And smearing
Sighing
And concealing

Every morning I stand
Before her
And she smiles
Back at me
My Mona Lisa

With all her secrets
