Swallowed By Shadows

She keeps walking around
in the darkest of circles,
living inside shadows
which cause her to constantly
stumble and fall.

Oblivious to the light,
she becomes a heartless stone,
with a smile and make-up
as her best disguise.

But when its 2AM in the morning
and reality strikes,
nobody is there
when her heartless stone melts...

no one is there when she cries.
