I lie here awake at night,
I beg and plead to close my eyes and leave this place, leave this pain,
but truthfully I could never leave you with the burden of my existence being erased,
if your happiness means my pain I will continue to cry here in silence with a smile on my face,
mirrors shatter with my reflection,
a look that could kill only sourced from pain,
a girl once happiest to awake now cries at the sunlight when it hits her face,
This all began the night you whirled into my home, And became a tyrant to my world,
In the end everything means nothing, But death is far beyond the end.
