Her Tears
valyntine

She watched the two together

And thought about her rival seeing him whenever

She wanted to, Sasuke and Sakura.

Now it was running down her cheeks, her mascara.

It was ruining the look she had prepared

Even with it, he probably thought it wasn't much compared

To the original, normal look Sakura has

She wiped off the ruined makeup as

She saw her rival peck his cheek

She didn't mean to see it, it was just a peek

It was an accident, something she didn't need to see

And now she knew it just wasn't meant to be

Right after she had caught sight

Of his face, a red color gone light

He curved his lips into a slight smile

And they stared at each other for quite a while.

Tears now rushed to her eyes, overflowing

She tried to blink them back, knowing

That more would just rise once more

Her tears dripped, splattered onto the filthy floor

She turned away

With nothing to say

Suddenly, her shoulder was given a tap

She didn't want to be bothered, ready to deliver a slap

Then, she saw a pair of eyes

Staring at her as she cries

"Shikamaru."

"What are you—"

Quickly, she found a flower hiding

In a tree's slight shadow, "This flower is dying."

"Ino, I can bet you that's not why you're crying."

And then more tears spilled from her eyes.
