Can you see my soul?

What is it you see?

Because I no longer recognise me.

Mirrors reflect back

What cannot be so

The girl that they show is not who I know.

And yet there she is

As plain as the day

A girl with a temper she must obey.

She's lost to her rage

The girl that they show

I don't understand how this can be so.

Her heart's made of ice

With layers of stone

Inside, she cries, as she's all on her own.

Terror she inflicts

On all who draw near

Consumed by her pain, by all of her fear.

Sorrow buried deep

Hidden underneath

Silent tears fall, the sole sign of her grief.

She hides from the world

From all that's unclear

Afraid to hope, afraid to persevere.

Underneath her mask

Is the girl within

The girl uncorrupt, the girl without sin.

her hair like the night

With eyes that are cold

In their ghastly depths are stories untold.

In her silent plea

She shakes and she cries

Deep within is where her true form now hides.

The nights and days pass

"Tick tock" goes the clock

Fragile as glass, cannot bear one more knock.

Her remnants remain

Are all that is left

The one she once loved committed the theft.

Broken forever

No longer a whole

She's slipping away, she's not in control.

Can you see my soul?

What is it you see?

Because I no longer recognise me.
