She was broken promises and untold lies,
Lip glossed joints and lush liquor highs
Swallowed tears and silent cries
Genuinely happy (In an artificial way)
Mouthfuls of goodbye, Lips lined with cliché
She’d sit and wish on every stationary star
Clinging to dreams of places so far
From wherever she may be.
She gave three cheers to high school:
Four to varsity lettered paparazzi.
She was all crossed fingers/Unanswered prayers
The type of girl who never cares.
She had a disease - An allergy to feeling
A Cover Girl hidden within compacts
Addicted to concealing.
All facts and little fiction
She knew nothing of love,
(Yet too much of friction)
Once upon a time, A boy looked into her eyes
& saw tired half truths between the lies
In a fabricated world where reality is rare
She dared to look back and match his glare.
She’d wished on every stationary star
She’d wished and found her fairytale:
Prince Charming on guitar.
