She stands in frontĀ  the mirror,
looking from head to toe.
She stands in front the mirror,
as the tears flow.
Why can't she be pretty?
Why can't she be strong?
Why can't she be the one,
that anyone wants?
She stands in front the mirror,
all broken and alone.
She stands in front the mirror,
hoping for a home.
Just wishing she could,
walk through the glass,
to another relm.
Closing her eyes,
She begins to dream.
A life.
A love.
A hope,
for better it seemed.
She looks up,
and hope something's changed.
Sadly only a broken girl staring,
into the mirror remains.
Just the way I've been feelings lately.

Why lay here,
in this big bed,
when all I want is you?
I toss and turn,
when you're not next to me.
My hands search all night,
just hoping to feel your skin.
How could something so innocent,
mean so much?
I lay in this bed,
cold and alone,
craving your warmth,
craving your touch.
I can't sleep without you next to me,
my heart aches.
Why lay here,
in this big bed,
when you're not next to me?

Where has the time gone?
Two years gone so fast.
Where did we go wrong?
We were so sure it would last.
Hate and resentment fill us.
Why is this so?
Your heart no longer beats with mines,
it's killing me so.
The sweetest conversation,
turned to a war of words.
I can't say where we went wrong.
Hell I don't even know!
Things changed so fast,
we didn't even know,
until that last blow hit,
and we were on the floor.
Tearing our hearts apart.
I keep replaying over and over,
still no clue where we went wong.
A love so innocent, just gone.
A bond so strong, just broken.
Hearts so sure that it would last,
are now lost.
No one knows why it didn't work,
no one knows, the hurt I hurt.
How could you hold me close,
just to let me go?
I did everything I could,
to make it work,
losing myself just to please you.
Now I have to pick up,
the pieces you broke.

She lays at night,
her breath quivers,
fighting back tears.  
She wonders,
is he, her's or,
is his heart with another,
her stomach twists,
at the what if's.
Closing her eyes,
she replays that night.
Liquor laced words,
slipped out his lips,
as his eyes filled with tears,
and silent hope filled her,
broken heart.
She thought just maybe,
things would go right.
Until sober words brings her back.
She fights to hold on,
but how long would
like be enough?

I'm trapped.
I can't breathe.
Losing hope,
I'm falling deep,
"I hope you stay,"
silently I pray.
My love for you,
won't lead me astray.
I need you now,
more than I can explain.
Just hold me close.
Promise me,
please promise me,
you won't disappear.
I'm fighting to stay,
fighting to love,
just hoping someone,
will help me up.
Losing my faith,
day by day.
Sometimes I don't,
believe that you'll stay.
My heart is broken,
pieces are gone.
My darkest days have,
taken my crown.
I no longer smile,
no longer laugh.
I'm trying to hold on,
with all my heart.
I hope you understand,
that I mean no harm.
It's just my darkest days,
have taken arm.
Trying to hurt us,
that's what they do.
My darkest days are
coming through.

When I look at her,
all I see is beauty.
Yet there's something,
behind it.
I see an angel,
with broken wings,
and heavy heart.
I see an angel
who's fallen apart.
She no longer smiles,
she no longer laughs.
She's secretly hiding her heart.
Yet she stands tall,
still she fights,
she holds on
with all her mite.
Her head still high,
though her halo's cracked.
She tried to move on,
and not step back.
Her soul is black
it's been burnt,
yet she holds on.
For what?
I don't know
Sarah Ramlal Aug 2017
Now it's my turn,
to help you.
You held them close but
they let you go.
You held on tight and
fixed each crack.
How could I expect
you to watch,
your back?
But past is past,
none of that matters,
now it's my turn.
You say,
you don't want it,
sometimes I believe you
but I see the hope,
I see the light
that can shine so bright.
Now it's my turn
to win this fight.
Not for me,
not at all.
Just to you,
cause you deserve it all.
An angel which has fallen,
soul so black,
I know he needs saving,
I got his back.
So I'll heal him,
hand sew each stitch,
making him whole.
That is my last dying wish
