I can see the sadness in her eyes

The kind that time creates

Evidence of the pain she feels

Proof her poor heart aches

 

I can see the loneliness in her eyes

Reflections of the world she's known

A life that never felt complete

A mind too often alone

 

I can see the despair in her eyes

She fears it's now too late

Her dreams are all just memories

Her empty soul awaits its fate

 

I can see the emptiness in her eyes.....every time I look in the mirror
