Falling Apart

She's that girl you see

walking down the street.

with a smile on her face,

but a frown on her heart.

make-up puts on her grace

but just untill she falls apart.


You would never know it

she tries not to show it

she can only smile from the outside

her heart is black and blue

but no one can see through

she only wonders why it even beats everytime.


family has broken her heart

but thats not the reason why she's living in the dark

when she goes home its just the abuse not only from herself but emotionally too.


You would never know it

she tries not to show it

she can only smile from the outside

her heart is black and blue

but no one can see through

she only wonders why it even beats everytime.


She's got a fake smile on her face.

her heart on her sleave.

learning every step of the way.

so ashamed


she's never been touched with a knife

but she puts it up to her skin just to know what it feels like

a peaceful paradise.


You would never know it

she tries not to show it

she can only smile from the outside

her heart is black and blue

but no one can see through

she only wonders why it even beats everytime.


A smile on her face

A frown on her heart

make-up puts on her grace

but just untill she falls apart
