That girl?
She smiles.
She smiles,
she laughs,
She laughs
till it hurts,
Then
clutching her stomach, cries.
The tears
break through broken sobs,
The
shuddering shoulders, the drying throat,
The hot
cheeks, the feverish head,
All dry up
as she lies in bed
And she
breathes and breathes again,
Her eyes on
the ceiling, lights off,
Pondering
thoughtlessly, wishing, dreaming,
Hoping that
the ceiling would break through
And the sky
drizzles down, cooling her flesh,
And the
clouds clear up, revealing the starry sky.
She fixes
her gaze on the moon,
Then
wanders to the star and smiles,
She smiles
and she laughs,
Laughs till
the sun comes out
And sleep
carries her away,
Away to
another world...
