-
i look in the mirror and see the face
of a girl who i once knew.
she stares blankly back at me,
with those eyes, an army green.
i see her search this face of mine
looking for an old friend,
hoping that she might be there,
although she knows she's gone.
a closer look, within her eyes,
shows she's not been gone long.
but, already, a confused, lost girl
has started making her home.
the smile she always likes to see
has disappeared without a trace.
no note, no warning, no anything...
it just picked up and left.
it takes a while, but i finally see
i am that mirror image.
right now, one question comes to mind,
what has happened to me..?
