the girl in the mirror
A small tiny round water droplet
 Slowly falls out of damp eye-lashes
 Onto a small round face
 After the small droplet slides off the face
 Black streams are covering the tracks of the droplet
 A hand tries to wipe away the black
 Instead it smudges across the cheek
 Long French manicured finger nails reach for a tissue
 The finger brings the tissue up to the eye and taps away 
 What is left of the make-up
 A face appears in a mirror
 A girl who has looked like she’s been crying for hours in it
 Her eyes are red and puffy 
 She whispers softly to herself 
 Why did this happen to me?
