Falling Apart

The smile quickly turns to tears

Her porcelain face cracks to pieces,

Salty tears run down the lines of her cheeks,

She can not open her mouth to speak.

Up above, sunshine turns overcast,

She knows her little act just will not last,

Everyone can see her every flaw,

It’s the red trails you just can not ignore.

The minutes drift away,

Stop pretending everything’s okay

I’ll look to tomorrow and start

As she started, falling apart

Falling through shadows, an image so surreal

Hits my eyes so hard, it’s overkill,

You build me up but just to watch me break,

I know what I should do but I just can’t walk away…
