scarlet tears

suffocating
the scarf trails round her neck
down her spine
atop soft sweater
she lifts her head
revealing deep black eyelashes
and secrets that cannot come out
chained in behind the facade
its trailing the floor
leaving a blood red trail
and petals of gold
shes suffocating
but doesnt want to breath
or stay
or leave
shes wondering whether there was a point
whether anything is worth anything else
whether she deserves whats been dealt
and what she has dealt in return
supple lips turn up to face him
but the black hair shields light
and he is good
all thats left
that is worth anything else
a tear drop falls
blood red
down her cheek
so pleasantly depressing
her facade
so depressingly beautiful
the whole charade
shes smiling now
hes gone
hes here
hes gone
in a puddle of scarlet tears
she falls to the floor
the scarf caching as she descends
shes wondering whether there was a point
whether anything is worth anything else
whether she should go to sleep tonight
wake up in the morning
supple lips facing her pillow
but not intaking any breath
shes wondering if she should sigh like yesterday
smile like tomorrow
scarf trailing
in a puddle of scarlet tears
