I'm sitting next to her,
And I'm feeling her pain.
I know she could be better,
But everyone thinks she's insane.

She looked at me and I look back,
I see her life, she lost her track.
Yet I understand the chaos and tragedy,
It ruins her life to be a nobody.

Her eyes catches mine again--asking,
Feels like I'm questioning myself with something.
I wipe my tears, and she did the same,
Then I wonder what's this creature-- what's her name.

I touched her, she touched me,
Numbness, a hindrance we see.
I saw tears in her eyes, then I felt it on my cheeks,
Now I know it's herself she seeks.

I sit and closed my eyes,
Lingering questions why.
I look at the mirror blankly,
I'm seeing myself, the girl beside me.
