The Girl In The Mirror(2)

RSS

By <b>Dark Neko</b>

I made the mistake of glancing into the mirror that girl looking back at me I can't look her in the eye she looks at me as if she's looking for an answer but I've got nothing to say. she's been crying again her eyeliner smeared around her eyes her lipstick is long gone and her hair is lifeless skin so pale it's translucent the only bit of colour is the blue of her eyes. I want to tell her it will be okay to stop crying and stop hurting but I don't make promises when I can't come through with them. so I turn to leave and turn off the light and the girl in the mirror disappears I know I'll see her again and maybe next time I'll have the answers.

I feel as if you are writing about me, i too do not recognise the girl in the mirror, and i wonder how anyone can even think of loving her. You captured the feeling well!
