Through My Eyes

I close my eyes

The tears roll down

I see your face

A broken frown

On shattered dreams

Through a shattered heart

I dream of the days

That we will never part

Though filled with hope

I'm a waste of space

A killer's victim

I saw my own face

He looked like me

But with evil in his eyes

That crooked grin

Those spoken lies

He broke the mirror

I fell to the floor

I blinked and saw you

Frozen at the door

In an instant I died

Dreams carried me away

I hoped and prayed

We will be together someday

Yet in the end

It's no surprise

You didn't really know me

The person behind the lies

Hidden because of guilt

I hid because of shame

These demons inside me

Impossible to tame

Slowly drifting

I spoke my last word

But the reaper at the gate

Was the only one who heard
