Mirror

I see her in the mirror looking back.
But I don't recognize her after every attack.
I can't look her in the eye's.
Because when I do she cries.
He did this to her.
But around him I can't remember.
I just think of his words and gifts.
Each one for all of his hits.

With every time I lie.
I feel a part of me die.
So I put on a mask.
So no one will ask.
And when I look back at the mirror.
I recognize the new her.
But I can't say I'm happy.
To see the new me.
