Outcast

she sits
doesn't look like other girls
gave them a taste outlined in red lipstic
left a tart taste in all their mouths
new girl in town
painting them all the sound of pain
they never knew it before
her knotted hair
running mascara
they don't see her bleeding
painted the town red
he is all fleeting
simple
lost in the euphoria
she paints everything red
but no one sees her bleeding
she never said a word
her lips did all the talking
now they flip the pages of magazines
long forgotten
how many debs
