I looked in the mirror
What did I see?
A sad, lonely ghost girl
Staring back at me.

Such solemn eyes
And a haunted expression
This girls heart is broken
Is everyone’s impression.

No one really knows
The pain lurking beneath
What will come next?
A grave with a wreath?

She loved a cruel man
With all of her heart
But after his cheating & lies
She decided to depart

Hoping to be free
Of the drama and pain
His toxic love
Was such a drain

She set about healing
by writing a blog
Her daughter was suffering
So she bought her a dog

The problem is complex
She’s finding it hard to cope
For she’s in love with a Narcissist
and is struggling to abandon hope

Like his others before her
After - and during too
They all think they’ll change him
If only that were true

Ghost girl you need to realise
He’s a fake, it’s a mask that he does wear
Ghost girl please don’t idealise
He’s hurt you but doesn’t care

He will carry on playing his cruel game
Please don’t be a victim anymore
Dry those pretty, dark brown eyes
And find the girl you were before.
