Her face was blank,
her eyes like glass.
Her heart had sunk,
her love was less.
She is alone,
she is afraid.
She's in a zone,
her mood had swayed.
He did not care,
he did not think.
His merciless stare,
left hopes to sink.
When he departed,
when she restarted,
their lives brand new,
having to redo.
Memories lost, ties undone,
priceless cost, she lost, he won.

Do you see me or the girl in the mirror?
The one without fears,
or the one filled with tears?
The one standing tall,
or with back against wall?
Quietly smiling, happy and bright,
or easily frightened, holding herself tight?
Always accomplished, always content,
or never enlightened, never unbent?
Perfect features brightening the room,
or scared open eyes awaiting her doom?
Now that you can see who I really am,
who will you choose to hold hand in hand?

She's more than you see, her worth simply priceless,
if you let her be, you may find her lifeless.

If love was lost, would all be hate?
If time was gone, would we be left to wait?
If money was worthless, would stealing be wrong?
If cures were hopeless, would life last long?
Questions surround, closing me in.
Answers unfound, will knowledge win?
