Mirror

I watched her world crumble

I looked into her eyes

The eyes of the brokenhearted

Whose ears have heard lies

Whose skin has been scarred

Whose heart has felt pain

Whose smile has hidden

More loss than gain

Whose soul is tired

Whose mind is ill

Who's fought more battles

Than you ever will

I looked into her eyes

And watched her cry

Tear after tear

From wanting to die

She stood all alone

Staring right back at me

And then I knew why

She didn't want anyone else to see

There were marks on her arms

And scars on her thighs

Her whole body

Covered in lies

She looked at me

Knowing no one would ever hear her

That's when I stopped

And walked away from the mirror
