• We smooth our black clothes,
    We fix our groomed hair,
    And we open the doors,
    To see what waits there.

    And we cry our fake tears
    And we frown our fake frowns
    And we speak our fake words
    And we slump our 'sad' shoulders.

    And we dry our fake tears
    And we hug our fake hugs
    And we thank our fake friends
    And we make our real exit.

    And the staccato clicks of our heels fade to black
    As we walk away
    And never look back.
