Black and White Reflections

Black and White Reflections Old black and white pictures are faded and worn the pain they portray is there in her eyes. Innocence doomed from the time she was born, no tears for a childhood she lost in the night. The pain they portray is there in her eyes, no smiles for this stranger, no secrets revealed. No tears for a childhood she lost in the night, the terror is present, but her lips are sealed. No smiles for this stranger, no secrets revealed, she looks at the camera and waits for the light. The terror is present, but her lips are sealed she must never tell of the hideous night. She looks at the camera and waits for the light, not trusting this stranger who stares at her eyes she must never tell of the hideous night, the promise of love conceals many lies. Not trusting this stranger who stares at her eyes she hurries away when the stranger is done. The promise of love conceals many lies, forever she's cursed to invent alibis. The promise of love conceals many lies, Old black and white pictures are faded and worn Innocence doomed from the time she was born, forever she's cursed to invent alibis…
