Gloss

Tell me why
You never wear that colour for me
And why it now sits there
Threatening
Used
Beguilingly

Tell me why
You wore that just to go to the gym
Why it was needed
For a power yoga position
Or a whim

Tell me why
I only see you in the other
Is it just a gloss
A pretention
Or a signal for another

Tell me when
You will tell me the truth
The reflection in the old mirror
Is stained
The glass faded
Tired
Age-damaged goods
