I have a simple question, an answer I'd like to hear.
Have you ever looked into a mirror, and seen something you would fear?

A face of pale white snow, all a glitter.
Perfect frown that could only befit her.
Eyes of autumn leaves...falling...changing with the breeze.

But...then everything changed.

One cold winter day, first of the year.
She heard the news, something she'd always fear.

Her skin of snow now melts away, to show a mask that would hide her pain.
A picture of her one true love, his spirit gone to a place where she'd
search for...all in vain.

Crying now she falls to the floor, music loud, her rage overflows.
She might have saved his soul from anxiety, only if she'd tried,
"secrets I hide, no use, see? It shows..."

Watching, waiting for a sign, maybe that someone, back to her would fly.
Two years would pass, she would still feel the same. Same question
she'd ask over and over again. "Why?"

Into the mirror she looks one day.

Her perfect frown, now as straight as a line.
Anger, pain, and sadness she held...but saying to all she's fine.

So many things she does to try.
To distract her from that something, in her heart it lies.

A tender smile to all those who defy.
Laugh at death as if it's only a lie.

Now she lies on her back today staring at the sky...wishing she could fly.
Rain beating down on her, no place to stay...only to watch and wait.

A car passes by and through the mirror she sees.
Her once auburn eyes, now hazy pools of sadness, but yet twinkling, for
others, so she can please.

She stands up one more time and sees.
A pool of water...which held the key.

A reflection so wrong, never to be right.
She tried to hold back a scream but she couldn't fight.

The face staring back

was....
