Reflection From Within

Her light does not shine, it left her long ago She is now empty, with insides cold as snow She looks in the mirror, she recoils in fright Her ghostly reflection, is a gloomy sight She cannot believe, what she has now become Joy it has left her, her insides now are numb Who can see, the happy façade, that she wears Is there anyone out there, who truly cares She believed promises, that were made in vain Each one that was broken, left her filled with pain Her light does not shine, it left her long ago She is now empty, with insides cold as snow She looks in the mirror, she recoils in fright Her ghostly reflection, is a gloomy sight Once she had an inner glow, brilliant it shined Now all that's left, are the voices in her mind She hears their insults, from within she does wail Looking at her face, that is now ghostly pale Each insult has left, a mark upon her soul A bruise upon her flesh, dark as blackest coal Eyes no longer pretty, are now darkened orbs All of her happiness, the darkness absorbs Her light does not shine, it left her long ago She is now empty, with insides cold as snow She cannot believe, what she has now become Joy it has left her, her insides now are numb Happiness is gone, no longer does she thrive Pale and broken, she no longer feels alive Her façade is now fading, drifting away Nothing is left, in the mirror she must stay In this ornate frame, she hangs upon the wall Stuck there forever, with the minds whip and maul Each day appears upon her, a new dark welt Her essence gone, emotions no longer felt Her light does not shine, it left her long ago She is now empty, with insides cold as snow
