she might as well be a stranger now.

<sub>she crying because she's
heard those words before; heard your words before; the way
you try to comfort her, despite her problems, despite not knowing her- oh yeah,
and of course for the main reason- you can't love a girl like her with

her loosely tied hair that refuses to agree and her
fragile pride that's furiously intertwined in her
two hands wrapped around each other- so easily ripped out and
stepped on by a foot.

(her own foot, that is.)

and she watched it all come down.
she can't turn back around.
she'll avoid your expression and
smile at the ground.

(not because she's happy or that she's
glad. she's sad, she's
only sad.)

and maybe she's crying because she's had enough.
and maybe she doesn't know anymore...
maybe she's forgotten many times
to lock that door.

(or maybe she just doesn't care anymore.)</sub>
