Everytime I look at you
all I see is innocence
a child
who's never seen
the monster under their bed
and the demon in the mirror
you have the whole world ahead of you
yet
your eyes desperately whisper,
sad tunes and notes
make an invisible appearance,
I feel them
everytime I hold you in my arms
hoping this moment could last longer
but I’m too afraid to say
because I’ve lost myself
in the mirror
staring back at you.
