Friday 6th
Beautiful girls
with porcelain skin
stroke their faces
and sigh. They try.
Oh, how they try
to crack a smile,
crinkle the eyes,
birth some laughter lines
and break the pout;
but they can’t.
The lip-gloss smiles,
eyelashes flutter,
blush from the blusher,
life applied in eyeliner.
The mask and the mirror
cannot disguise her
sparkling glass eyes.
