Sad Girls

sad girls
laugh loud
share their echo
scream down
bridges
stretched across
the river
dangle their legs
sad girls
pose
with cheeky grins
sad girls
walk until they bleed
they freeze
lose track
of footsteps
sad girls smile
too big
crack their
shells
bruise a dark purple
sad girls are just sharp
enough to break skin.
