Eyeliner
Eyeliner smudged
Across her face
Those memories
She can’t erase
And she can’t find
That place
Where she used
To feel safe
Eyeliner smudged
Across her face
Sick of crying
Always lying
She trying
And she’s dying
Eyeliner smudged
Underneath her eyes
Getting sick
Of all the lies
And yet, as
Everything dies
She goes on
And she tries
Eyeliner smudged
Underneath her eyes
She’ll pretend
It’s the end
Tries to bend
But she’s breaking
