Ode to Lip Balm

Chapstick,
Lipsmackers,
Bath and Body Works
Lip balm.

Fruit Craze,
Blue Crazeberry,
Kiwi Strawberry Twist.

Golden Butter Cream,
Berry Beads,
Strawberry Sequins.

Vanilla Mint,
Milk and Cookies,
Mixed Berry.

All so many scents,
all so little time to try them all.

They seem so innocent,
the little tubes.

Yet inside they contain
addiction.

Use for too long,
and use forever.

A drain.
on your wallet.

A drain
on your lip moisture.

While contrary to popular belief.
is true.

Addiction.
Lip Balm.
