I stare at the girl
I’ve known for so long
And she stares back
As she sings a sad song
Her eyes are bright
Filled with tears
Her heart is full
With memories of the years
A silence erupts
And I don’t know what to say
Because all I want
Is her sorrow to go away
I ask myself,
“Will this ever end?
Her loneliness cease?
Her broken heart mend?”
I begin to cry too
Because now I see
The reflection in the mirror
Is actually me
