Falsehoods

Miniscule drops of purity fall on dimpled cheeks,

and she is unsure if they are tears or the falling rain.

One reaches her harlot painted lips,

and she tastes her failure which has meshed itself

with the sanity crumbling from her personal stormcloud.

She tastes another and smiles, sardonic.

They don't know her ever-present demons,

nor do they want to.

Then she comes to terms with the fact that

she is as false as they are.
