Like raindorp they fall from her eyes,
she doesn’t smile anymore,
no, she only cries.
Her hand quivers, she wipes them away,
then slowly and sadly,
get back to class without delay.
Nobody knows why they fall,
and they really don’t,heed at all.
Why worry, she is just another girl,
they misplaced curiosity long before.
She sobs and her hands curl
around the locket she forever wears,
they shake their heads gives a sigh,
nobody pays kindness, nobody cares.
Another crystal fall from her eyes,
she never smiles, no, she only cries…
