She ‘s here with me, I feel her around me
She watches me cry
She watches me as I lose myself
She just stands there and watches

She knows I feel her, but she does nothing
She doesn’t wipe my tears
She doesn’t show me where I have gone
She just stand there and watches

She’s here in the room
She cannot speak
She cannot touch
She can only see

I look into her eyes
In that moment I regret my entire life
That agony in her eyes
That pain she feels, makes me want to die

I hate myself
I hate myself for wanting her to console me
She is the one in need
How could I be so selfish

I reach my hand out to her
To touch her face, to soothe her soul
To help her in some humanly way
For she looks no longer human

My hands pass through her
Her ghostly body still standing in front of me
I want to hug her
I want her to know things will be okay

She walks to the end of the room
Then back again, passing the dry empty room
She walks back to me, she is crying
She takes a mirror out of her pocket

She turns the mirror towards me,
The image is myself,
I am her
She is me.
