Laughter filled the air
and everyone turned to stare
at the friends whose smiles
Lit up the town for miles
Alice was beautiful
with eyes so delightful
her red hair would flow
whenever the wind would blow
a radiant smile, replaces the sun
on a night’s moonless run
Alice had a problem
she didn’t care to solve them
She laughs and tilts the bottle back
knowing with this her worries would lack
Dancing her life away
she claims she’s ‘fine’ anyway
For just this once, it was one too many
But I told her she shouldn't have any
Those smiles fade to frowns
and worry creeps into their brows
as she fell to the floor
and police beat down the door
Screams rise in the air
while people run everywhere
Alice just lay there
when she had looked so happy
fighting a life so ******
