The Mirror

There’s a face inside my mirror
With haunted bloodshot eyes
It sits and stares right back at me
Its mouth twisted is I cry

I think i used to know her
She used to smile a lot
Now she’s trapped inside that gloom
As slowly she starts to rot

Her hands are twisted round the knife
That sticks out of her chest
Her mouth it moves as though to speak
Her pain she will attest

She stares at me with hatred
Such loathing upon her face
I wince and hold on tightly
As her pain I try to embrace

Then suddenly I’m in the mirror
She is outside staring at me
She looks at me with pity
She knows I’ll never be free

Speak To Me Love

Speak to me love
Tell my your secrets, your fears
Pour into me your dreams and hopes
Shower me with your tears

Speak to me love
I’ll not tell a soul
For you, are my world
You make me whole

Speak to me love
Let it flow like a river
Let the words dance
Let them quiver

Speak to me love
For I am your life anew
Reside within me
For I am bound to you

Guilty Secret

Often when I look at you,
I feel nothing at all
I know I once felt differently
But now I struggle to recall

The guilt it threatens to bury me
From the truth I try to hide
There is no-one around who knows how I feel
There is no-one in whom I can confide

Once we had a bond so strong
And my emotions were real and raw
Once the thought of leaving you
Would have rocked me to the core

But now I’m just existing here
Just longing to be set free
And even though I love you so
I’ve lost the essence of me
