Mirror of Pain

Your hate is boiling up inside
it has no place to run or hide
Your heart is breaking clean in two
there's nothing you can do
Your soul has become a lake of fire
to hurt someone your greatest desire
You want someone to feel your pain
that is almost driving you insane
You look up so silently
into the eyes of your enemy
But instead of ugly mocking glares
you see your soul reflected there
