And miles to go before I sleep- Robert Frost

She walked around
With her sleeves rolled down.
Open to anesthetic air
Her skin porcelain, chipped
She smiled with her eyes,
With her ears.
But her mouth unnaturally
Flipped, reflected, mirrored
Sleeves still open
Folded to the arm
And no one saw
The lines across her skin
Like pink lined paper
How could they not?
It was written on her arms
We don't all have to be...
Lonely

It isn't supposed to be depressing, just truthful. Some people can keep their emotions hidden so well. This is for you because you don't have to be alone.

It is better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all.
