She's Only Pretty When She Cries

By CrestfallenTears

She's only pretty when she cries,
when she finds out all of his lies.
She's only pretty when her heart bleeds,
from the bullshit that he feeds.
When he cheats and he lies,
She's only pretty when her heart dies.
When she sheads tears blue as can be,
She's only pretty when he leaves.
She sits alone to cry, her dying heart he denies.
Because she's only pretty when she cries.


yes, it is quite short, but it's also really personal, so I would have to say this is one of my favorites.
