Broken Mirror

I look into the reflection
of a stranger
trying to find out
what happened to her

what happened to the girl
that i see in the back of my mind
that child smiling
who is there when i close my eyes

i look back into
the broken peice of glass
wondering what happened
and why it changed so fast

then a tear drops
and silently hits the floor
as i remember
all the things that happened before

i slowly close my eyes
the child is there once again
deep inside my mind
in my world of pretend

as i open my eyes
to a world of lonlyness
i realize
the world is just a mess

like the glass it forms a puzzle
that will never end
each little peice
will be needed to make the whole again

once you break it apart
it will never be the same
just like me the little girl
broken and so changed
