Falling apart behind closed doors
She hides her truth from everyone
'Loosing him was for the good'
'You'll find someone better'
The lies flow not only from others
But her own mouth as well
School mates think every thing's fine
Parents are oblivious
As everything but her masking eyes
Peels away leaving a girl
Cold, lifeless, and lost
She is dying alone
But life goes on.

Thank You for Your Entry ~
Sadly touching;
I absolutely love these lines
"but her masking eyes
Peels away leaving a girl
Cold, lifeless, and lost"
the image of that locks away in my mind and makes me want to re-read this over again so I can take it all in
♥
Best of Luck
Stay safe
