Faces
Pretty girl
Like an angel full of grace
A well practiced smile
On that porcelain face
Cold girl
Nothing but bullets and mace
An icy smile
Craved on a stone face
Broken girl
You’ve finally fallen behind, losing the race
You can’t find a smile
For your shattered face
Little girl
You’re growing tired of the chase
To put a smile
On your painted face
Sad girl
Your wrist of red lace
Hide behind that fake smile
On your tear stained face
Scarred girl
The lines left no trace
You have no smile
They only see a disgrace
Beautiful girl
You’ve finally risen back to grace
With a real smile
On that beautiful face
