Mirror, Mirror

Frustrated Hurt Confused Unsure Unable to see who I am Unable to see you for what you are What you’ve become Yet I love you But the longer I stay The longer my love for myself fades away I have sacrificed Compromised Went against my morals My principles All for a love that was never really mine I have been battered Bruised Scarred by the same lips that use to say the sweetest words The words that use to play in my ears like a soft symphony You can’t even see how much you’ve changed Back to who you always were The man you always denied to be How naïve of me to trust In you In us The mask that you use to hide your true identity Has disappeared Leaving you exposed For all eyes to see What a Liar Swindler Jerk You really are It’s as if I am seeing you for the first time As satisfied as I should be for finding this out now Before I was in deeper I am not satisfied I am heartbroken Distraught I can’t believe I fell for the illusion Instead of for the reality I can’t believe my chance for a happily ever after Was only a mirage I created in my mind And I can’t believe I allowed you to hurt me so deeply I can’t believe this broken girl in the mirror ...is me
