Holding Back

A little girl sits crying
On a curb
Tears dripping
From her big eyes
Waiting for her boyfriend
To come.
She waits and waits
Until finally he comes
Singing and dancing
Oblivious to her sorrow
Finally she gets up
And joins the tune
Choking back the pain.
Bottling it up
For the next time
He forgets about her.
