Heels

Heels in hand, a phone at her ear,
Into it she screams words 
that one shouldn't hear
Hangs up the call, 
throws herself on the ground 
Feels like silence when there is only sound
Soft fingers dance over her imperfections
She's wiping away her bad reflection
But she has to choose her direction 
Feeling empty of affection 
A car stops in front of her
On the side of the road
She gets in and asks the driver to go
He asks where to take her
And she cries into his ear
"Please just anywhere but here"
Then she's off, driving through the night
Lights grazing her face, 
The city is alive 
She sits back in her seat
Breathes out some thoughts
Then breathing in 
She throws down some shots
Alcohol has always been there for her
More than anyone else
People come and people leave
Her shot glass continues to help
She rolls her window down enough
That she can scream out into the world
"God I'm trying so damn hard, but I'm still just a little girl."
And that she is, she's still so fragile 
Her heart is a delicate flower
Bruise it once, just a tiny scratch
And her years lose all their power
Mature enough to understand
That all of this was her fault
Society keeps on beating her down
Constantly tasting the asphalt 
"Goodnight" she says, into the streets
Taking her last look at life
Throws down one more shot and then
She's gone, forever
Goodbye
