No Name 2

I look into the mirror
I see someone else staring back at me
Someone I don’t know and that scares me
She scares me

I slowly put my hand on my cheek
And gasp as the person in the mirror
copies me

I stare into her lifeless brown eyes
And wonder if
those lips ever said a secret so dear
And if they ever confessed
and tried to empty their burden

Many people say that a persons eyes
lead the way down to their soul

But I know that if I should ever
see down into her soul
I would shudder with fear
Fear of the empty-ness that lays inside

And somehow
I know her life’s story
I know she wants to escape
Escape from the darkness

But she’s afraid
So she lets herself be drawn closer
Closer to the world of lies, empty -ness and deceit

She lets herself be pulled
And holds comfort in the fact that soon
it will end

Her arms clutch her sides
And she slides down the bare wall
And I hear her cries that
fill the eerie night

And I know she’s trying
Trying so hard not to give in
To not feel the pain

But she’s scared, so scared
And I feel afraid, so very afraid

And I want her to stop hurting
Because I know she feels the pain
And she’s so sick
Of the life she’s been living

And I wonder how I know this
I wonder why I can feel her pain
And then I know the answer
And I’m scared
Because I know that person is me...
