and they say,
that girl is just like those in the books
the girl that's so interesting,
the one everyone wants to know,
the one who makes smoking look less deadly.
and maybe there's that tiny little secret within her,
hidden in her cheekbones
or the space between her thighs.
But who will know
the girl down the corner,
no one.
not even herself.
