Cut

She smiles whenever 

we are together 

She laughs  

over the telephone 

She walks with flowers on her head 

and sings the words to every musical 

she is loyal always to me 

she has my back no matter what 

we hang out  

everyday 

especially after the clock chimes 4 

we will sit at a table drinking 

tea and Starbucks  

Which makes it harder that I didn't know 

When she looks in the mirror 

she doesn’t see the beauty I see 

she only sees a glob 

when I think she wants 

to eat healthy 

she really doesn’t want to eat at all 

her smile hides pain 

her laugh covers fear 

when I thought she was just dancing in the rain 

she was really looking for a way to hide her tears. 

I call myself her best friend 

but I didn't know this 

How could I have not known 

she cuts.
