In first person, write about the life cycle of a lip balm.
No One Ever Suspects The Lip Balm
You use me
covering ragged
skin
dry and cracked
and I heal you.
The barrier between
the air
and where it shouldn’t be;
the wall
the skin
should have been.
You use me
softening the kiss
or filling slow moments
in waiting rooms
and parked cars.
You use me up.
