The Girl In The Mirror

The sound of her tormented tears

Just breaks my heart

The sound of her please, her fears

Tears my soul apart

Seeing that scared look upon her faceAlways makes me cry

Knowing how she longs for a comforting embrace

That inside she yearns to die

Seeing the bruises, covering from head to toe

Breaks my heart even more

Knowing she's too afraid to go

Too frightened to walk out the door

Hearing her excuses, saying he'll change

Believing, one day, the abuse will end

Telling herself, it's her, not him who's deranged

Convincing herself she doesn't need a friend

Telling herself time and time again

He's all she needs to live

Saying she loves him, and change him, she can

That she'll give him all she can give

That is she didn't always make him so mad

He wouldn't have to hit her anymore

It just makes me so sad

Knowing, he'll eventually kill her for sure

Sadly, I look at her, as she continues to cry

And my heart just aches

And knowing that I can no longer deny

What it is that really makes my heart break

Is that the girl I'm looking at, but can't really see

Thru my tears, in the mirror, is me.
