The Girl In the Glass
I see her sigh and close her eyes,
And then she disappears,
But inside her head she's smiling,
And this is what she hears,
"Hello my dear, I'm so pleased
To see you here today.
You always make me laugh and
You look lovely, by the way.
Did you dye your hair again?
It suits you well, that purple shade,
And it always looks so shiny,
So don't listen to what they say.
I really like your make-up,
How it emphasises your eyes,
They're a deep, delicate colour,
Something no-one should despise.
Don't disagree; inside and out
You're beautiful, okay?
Now follow me onto the floor,
And we'll dance their words away."
If only it were real that
Someone had shown her such affection,
For although I knew she hated me,
She didn't deserve rejection,
But as it was, she grabbed a lamp,
And smashed me, her reflection.
