In My Eyes

I look in the mirror and who do I see there's no recognition in her eyes of me Her stare is distant she looks locked inside I can help her to find her pride Does she suffer from low self-esteem? Does she dream until she screams? Is she demanding self respect? Is she worrying what happens next? If I reached out would she pull me in? I see myself drowning in her eyes I'll try to help her from within I can almost hear her cries I know she wants to come back to me We will find our strength together The lonely past we will no longer see We'll have a life of joy together
