If for a second there you could close your eyes
and see me there in the dim of the doorway
would you let me stay? would u hold me near??

I stare at the image,
it frightens me ,,, so real
I look into her eyes
the colour of pain
I teach her how to smile
but she hates pretence
I tell her that its real
She wrinkles in disgust
I close my eyes
Yet I can feel her stare
She says Im in despair
I tell her things Id never dare speak
but she betrays, puts all at stake
She counts the scarlet drops although Im not looking

She says its time to go, she hates it here, she is right.
I know what she must be feeling, locked up in hat decieving mirror. She knows what I wanna hear ...
