Mascara
Today she put on her makeup with a smile on her face,
not knowing that the one she loved is gonna wash it away.
When she looked in the mirror she saw a fake reflection,
her mind had a feeling that the one she loved had a confession.
When she got a phone call she knew her smile would fade away,
He paused when she answered then told her he had something to say.
She wondered why he would call in the morning,
but the crackle in his voice gave her a silent warning.
He said he found someone else and the love he had dissapeared,
This was the moment she had always feared.
Soon the sunny day became a storm,
But he would never know that her heart was torn.
Her heart was begging for the love she needed,
but when she looked in the mirror it was shattered to pieces.
She picked up a shard and looked at her face,
The makeup she put on had been erased.
All that was left was a stream of black,
but it was then that she knew the facts.
She tried to blame it on the rain,
but even waterproof mascara can't hide the pain.
