Bubblegum pink tears

Bubblegum pink lip gloss

You

Chatter in your sleep to

An invisible boyfriend


 

You stand in a group, fake smiles hastily plastered

Over blond hair

At the mall


 

But I watch as

the

Jeweled raindrops hit the

Glassy water

Like tiny daggers

And

Rebound upon the surface

Inverted teardrops


 

To reflect mine


 

If I drop a minuscule tear of

Sadness

It will

                                                                   R

                                                              I

                                                         P

                                                   P

                                                         L

                                                                 E

And maybe

the girls at the mall will feel it too

In their blank eyes
