I look into the mirror and what I see is not what I feel,
Pain and sorrow never show as long as I smile.
This person before me, who is she?
How can I be this shadow, this empty vessel of unhappiness?
Now the room is dark, filled with clouds of hurt,
I stare at her in the mirror and try to remember when it was bright.
A time when the sun shined and the glow of cheerful desires where within reach,
When love was a feeling I knew all too well.
I turn away; don’t want to face her now.
Sitting here crying the nights away, alone and sad,
Wishing for the time before when all was amazing.
Picking up her heart as I watch in the mirror this girl who is not me,
This is too real to feel.
Why did you do this to her? How can you walk away?
When will the pain stop? Will she be able to go on?
She lies on the bed and is outlined by the moonlight,
As her tears slowly start to stop and she finally is able to sleep.
She knows tomorrow will be better but for now tonight is all she has.
Escaping into her dreams where there is no pain and sorrow,
And for the time being she is happy…….
