Untitled.

by WrittenInTheStars   Apr 6, 2008


A salty tear mixes with
her black mascara and caresses
the gentle curve of her cheek
while making it's way down
to her rounded chin.
It drips off and lands on her
pale, scar-covered arm
which she hides from the world.
She just doesn't understand
why she can't be perfect,
why everything she does is wrong.
She just knows that her life
is being wasted and
her time here is slowly
coming to an end.

    Such beautiful descriptions! I could totally see this girl. I can relate to this EXACTALLY. It always makes a poem better when you can actually relate to what message/senerio the author is conveying. Anyway, absolutely stunning imagery. 5/5 Keep it up!
