Tears

there  was a girl

she sat by herself

in an empty room

her hands were cupped in front of her

as she sat there rocking back and forth

on her knees

she cried

gently biting her knuckles

she shook

back and forth

tears
and
tears
fell

her heart beat was normal
as it beat
over and over again.

although, she was cold, as her face was pale and her lips were tinted blue.

she was smiling.
