The Girl in the Mirror

As I look into my mirror, I see a lonely face
I see through her heart and see an empty space
I wish that I could dry her tears and tell her it's all right
But I know I can't reach her, try as I might

As I lay in my bed, I see her watching me
Tears streaming down her eyes, begging to be free
I try to lend a helping hand so that she could see
That in this world of heartbreaks, she's got a friend in me

I looked at her this morning and saw her puffy eyes
She tried to smile, but I could see right through her disguise
I waved goodbye and so did she as I walked right out the door
And in the CR I saw her like I've never seen before

She looked great and happy; it was a clever mask
But to hide the sorrow in her eyes was the hardest task
Somehow it's so easy to see beneath her façade
And as we look at each other… I see her smile fade

I heard someone enter and ushered her to leave
But she stubbornly stood there, her movements she reprieved
I hoped that that person would never see
The girl in the mirror in front of me

She turned to the mirror as I silenced my surprise
She asked the girl why were there tears in her eyes
But she just looked back and did not leave her place
So the other girl surprise me when I felt her embrace

I looked back at the mirror and what I saw made my heart fall
The girl in the mirror was me after all…

Author's Note: Hi there! This poem is written by my friend who's a writer at Her penname is Dark Queen of Chaos. Check her works its really great! I post it because it really held so much meaning. I ask her permission and she said yes. When I read it, I really felt it was Tenten that's being described since she's always been wearing the façade of a carefree girl even though the truth is she's not really that happy. I do hope you guys like it! My friend and I will accept any criticisms, suggestions and advice. So please review! Thanks!
