My Reflection
I carefully line my lips in red
adjust my silken straps
my cheeks a glow, bosoms high
wisps of blonde bangs, fallen to my eyes
He is home atlast, awaited patiently
will he walk right past me, again quietly
my skin anticipating his fingers on mine
forgetting he might ignore me like time after time
hope hope, hope and once again hope
the flame is just a flicker, but once was engulfed
come back to me, please hold me tight
one more day, one more night
I hear the door creak, foot steps on wood
Will today be the day, I am seen, and understood?
my hot breath cools as it lands on silk lingerie
but turns cold as he passes in anger and dismay
I cry out in sorrow, please love me, won't you understand?
I feel invisible, and unloved, as my hoping heart is stabbed
Can't you see me? I need a lover, a husband and a friend
though hope prevailed, I am alone , friendless, and unloved, once again
How dare I need love, how dare I need him at all
my eyes weeping,smeared black shadow, I run down the hall
I am filled with regret, guilt, and disgust
I look down at this get up, and I feel like a slut
as I run my silk dress flows in the air
I catch a glimpse of my reflection, who is that girl in the mirror?
tears flowing on porceline skin, luminicant lips of gold
black eyeshadow smeared down, halzel eyes turned emerald
He may not see me and the beauty I have inside and out
or know who I am, for I will never make him proud
and although he can' t see me, this will never ever change
that there has always been a light for me on that stage
I
