I saw her today,
a face i hadn’t seen for a while,
she looked lost, full of confusion,
her beautiful eyes lacked their sparkle
and her face dressed in a smile
a lie even i could see
for through her eyes i saw her sadness
the shadow of loneliness lingered over.
Her mind wondering darkened allies.
For she was just a girl carrying a weight
a weight of pain of loves gone by.
A girl so misunderstood,
so mistakenly judged,
so unaware of her potential.
Such lonely eyes,
for all she wanted was to love.
I reached out my hand,
and in turn she reached out hers,
fingers touched, so cold,
my heart ached as i pulled back my hand in time with hers
as a tear fell from my eye in unison.
For it was just a reflection
created by the mirror that stood before me.
