Lies behind her teeth
At the party she will drink,
Skull down her sorrows and catch a wink
Of the boy who breaks her heart inside.
On the swings beneath the trees,
She takes a draw and her head starts to spin,
When everything looks uncertain
She lights one up and breathes it in.
When she has too much to say, too much to shout
She pulls out a pin, to slit her skin
And watch the blood pour out.
Her dinner is purged from her secretive lips
Just wants to be like the other girls
She wants smaller hips.
It’s almost midnight and she is lying alone,
Tears roll down her cheek as she looks through her phone,
Three missed calls from dad
She aint seen him in weeks so she’s feeling real bad.
He just wants to get close, but she pushed him away
She remembers the tears and the pain,
Hoping he would be back one day.
In her head she is asking ‘why is life so cruel?’
Maybe that’s why she’s reckless, why she breaks all the rules.
There are secrets behind her teeth; her smile is a mask,
That’s why she always says ‘I’m fine’ when anybody asks.
cest moi
She is completely and utterly besotted by him. For too long has she teared up over illusive perceptions of affection between herself and the boy who consumes her. For too long has he mislead, misread and misdirected this girl into believing he could never love her back. For too long he has hidden his emotions, but now he is exposed and afraid. Afraid of truth, afraid of consequences, afraid of future. He is afraid because the wall he worked so hard on hiding behind is starting to crumble and fall.
And this, this is what I call love. It can weaken even the strongest of hearts.
cest moi
