Sad Girl Dances

Sad Girl dances
and Sad Girl sings
while silly boys whisper
about ripping her heart strings.
She hears the rumors
but never really runs,
because Sad Girl trusts them
not to leave her undone.
But they do
because they aren’t fully grown,
and leave Sad Girl sobbing,
angry,
and so painfully alone.
And those silly boys
laugh at her ruby shoes
while see screams,
at the top of her lungs,
that there’s no place like home.
