It Kills Me

She stares at the mirror
into the vacant eyes
of the one who stares back at her.

"Who are you?"
She screams
as tears roll freely down her face.

Her lover sees the pain
hidden in her eyes
wipes away her tears and says
"Baby please don't cry.
Have faith in yourself
You will find who you are eventually."
She sighs, embracing the sobbing girl
smiling slightly as she calms down slowly
and melts into her arms.

"You are the most beautiful girl
I've ever seen
and it kills me to see you hurting."
