Laugh

Crawling back to him every time another boy admits to his lies.

Because at least he never lied.

He told her how little she was worth.

He told her he'd never love her.

He told her she was only there for the night.

Stop,

 you say,

 that's so sad.

Stop.

Stop.

Stop. Stop. Stop. Stop.

Listen...

that silence is the sound of how many boys didn't lie to her.

Just laugh,

you tell her,

laugh it off,

Now she's laughing so loud you can't hear her heart breaking.

They can't hear her world shattering around her.

Her laugh drowns out the deafening sound of her pain.

So no one comforts her.

No one holds her.

Because she's strong.

She's okay.

So she calls him up and offers him her body,

the way boys should offer flowers to her.

He never says no.

His lust is the best comfort she can get.

Because she's okay.

Don't you hear her laughing?
