Her black lipstick is smeared
showing part of her lip pink
pink as the midmorning sun
her mascara ran down her face
from her tears she cried
black tears
black night
she ran under the stars
running from home
from love
from hate
from pain
no one wanted her anymore
not even her clique
she was banished forever
only to seek her vague dreams
far off into the distance
she tries to follow them
but trips and falls
the moon whispers her name
calling for her to come back home
to where she belongs
she does not listen
continues running
black tears
black night
her world is broken
and so is her heart
her light bulb has burnt up
her candle blown out
smoke drifting on the stale breeze
will she ever make it back?
black tears
black night
black as her eyelids
frozen shut
