-woman I See-
Everyday she wakes
Looks in the mirror
But doesn't see the person starring back...
She's hurting inside
Her bodies in turmoil
Blocked out memories that are better off forgotten...
For years she's let people see what she wants them to see
Skeleton's in her closet
But the bones don't quite fit...
My heart is bleeding
How do I help
When what she feels and felt hits close to my home
I feel her remorse, her pain
Her cries at night for peace...
If only she could see what I see in her
The strong, beautiful woman with endless possibilities
A woman with a heart of gold...
If and when you need to face your demons
I will be there for you
Through thick and thin...forever your best friend.
