It wasn’t
until I
needed it-
I realized
I put it on a shelf.
Always on the go,
didn’t notice
how time
had passed.
Thought I’ll
put it on a shelf
forgot
I had it
until
in a mirror
I looked one day
could barely
recognize
myself
cause
on this
youthful face
of mine
the signs of time
caught up.
Now, my hair
is full of gray
reminded me
of the other
day
I put the bottle of
dark auburn
dye
on the top
of the shelf
