Mirror Mirror
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who is the fairest of them all
Who will win the hearts of beasts
Who set wild hearts free
Why its you dear
You hold the key
To be all that you seek
To stand and show
You are Fairest
The prettiest of them all
Listening intently to sharp tounged
Devil she began to believe
His decietful speeches
Letting go of all her defences
She willing conceived his curses
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who is the fairest of them all?
Who will win the hearts of beasts
Who will set wild hearts free
I think it is still you
Yet I ponder at your decreasing beauty
Yet in the perfect dress
You will not fit
And face of cracks
Oh what a mess
Listening again
Intently trying to change
To make the mirror See
The girl she was never meant to be
A doll
A play
A toy
On display
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who is the fairest of them all?
Who will win the hearts of beasts
Who will set wild hearts free
Afraid its not you
Fairer roam these dusty streets
You never had beauty to spare
Just the blood of confusion laid bare
I was blind I did not see
The beauty of lust in her it breeds
Again she listened
Losing worth of herself
Losing all she was
Because of a shiny smile glimmer on a shelf
Falling down
Consumed by beasts
Then in the darkness she silently weeps
Moons have passed
Bearly seeing the light
One night she silently decides
To uncover it one last time
Mirror mirror on the wall
Who is the fairest of them all?
Who will win the hearts of beasts
Who will set wild hearts free
He chuckled and said
Not you my dear
You are too well fed
To sharpend by the books
Not nearly good enough
Too you
Too much
To tough
Angered she slowly to rise
From the depths he led her so close
Close to her own demise
With a giant pull
And deafning crash
The glimmers shattared
Into millions of slivers
Of a face no longer
Determining who she was
Walking over all sharp words
Feet bleeding
She still rose
