Her heart, he soul,
Everything, let go.
Words spoken, mind whirls,
Nothing left, just a girl.
Pretty outside, ugly in,
Who'd have guessed, she'd never win?
Laughing it off, hiding pain,
Her heart in battle, bloody lain.
She covers it up, pastes a smile on her face,
Boy, don't forget:
She can't be replaced.

The author's comments:
I was inspired to write this piece by my friend, who used to self-injure because of a guy. This poem details them going out and him breaking her heart, and ultimately saying she can't be replaced as a girlfriend or as a human.
