The Murder

I smiled sadly at the Brunette girl

staring at me from the mirror

She had what I had lost,

Something I missed the most.


I wish I could do more, perhaps speak ?

Anything to see the hope glimmer

But right when my guilt was at it's peak

He covered my eyes again, concealing his error.


As I lay in bed tonight, my gaze fell upon the mirror;

she visited me again

And thus without a second thought, I begun.


You didn't just die, you were murdered.

but there's twist

the victim was you, my innocence

murdered by his fist.


He was a professional, darling

left behind no trace

except for the memories etched in my soul

ones that I could never erase.


"Were there any tears shed for me?"

My innocence asked so humbly.

Yes, many, but

Not by the members of the family

Just me.


"Were there any witnesses?"

My innocence asked with great distress.

With a sad smile, I shook my head

None except my two eyes.

But who would believe them?

They couldn't even see through his lies.


"Was there any funeral for me?"

My innocence asked, so naively

No, for no one knew you died.

Perhaps this is what happens

When you keep it all inside.
