Face Within The Mirror

Sue Mina


I look into the mirror

An unhappy image I see

A deep black heart

Unable to be free

The face is deeply hidden

It's beauty forever ridden

For the past rears its ugly head

The face in the mirror is charred and

dead

A cry for help is let out

I need help without a doubt

To heal this wounded heart

My life is falling apart

You used me, abused me

You left me baring the shame

Life I know

Will never be the same

I loved you, I let you

I fell pregnant

Then you said good-bye

Virgin blood bled

Then you tossed me aside

You see when I look into the mirror

That charred and dead face I see

Is really only the reflection

Of battered and abused me....
