On Reflection
I gaze at my reflection,
And she stares back at me,
Yet does she have the same abyss
Where her mind should be?
Does she see her eyes gone blank
Does she know her smiles a lie?
Or is she as lost i am now
Just sitting wondering why
Shes looking through that looking glass
At the girl she used to know
Not knowing how it got this way
Nor knowing where to go.
The face that waits behind the glass
Hides the truer face within,
The only one that can tell the truth
Is the one beneath the skin.
But truth is to be protected,
And we have secrets left to keep,
So I hide myself behind my mask
And watch my relection weep.
And she stares back at me,

At the girl she used to know
Not knowing how it got this way
