Swallows- A Poetry Collection

Lost in space

I paint smiles upon my face,
Yet I'm still out of place,
An unloved girl; lost in space,
Who disappeared without a trace.

I fall under where oceans rise,
Where clouds darken in stormy skies,
Just look into my hollow eyes,
What led me to my laughter's demise.

I'm the girl that you'd always hate,
The one who thinks she'll never be great,
I'm not even the prey ; I'm used as the bait,
Just cut me open and watch me deflate.

I'd always aspire but never inspire,
Go to sleep on a funeral pyre,
Watch me burn in the long-lasting fire,
Because that's what you do to a liar.

So what if all my smiles are fake?
If all I do is cause heartache?
I'm just waiting until I'll break,
And you'll realize that I was your biggest mistake.
