Enter Child

The mirror reflects the face of a child
Tears well in the eyes of the stranger that's seen
Inside the blue soul the thoughts rest awhile
To gather the dust from the life in between.

Black shutters dip down over the eyes
Splashing the tips of a cheek with the dew
That tends to the soul of the vacant dull light
As the strength of a memory is crushed from the view.

The torture of hurt wrapped up in a thought
Comes crashing upon the dark window's screen
No hope in the eyes of the child that was brought
No dreams formed to calm the pain that was seen.

Dim lights have but flickered upon the dead soul
Clueless inside of what had gone wrong
To leave such a thought of a hope that was stole
Taking away the laughter... the song.

Hands reach toward the mirror, touching the heart
Reflections of nights that were painted in gray
Tends to the dark soul that was pulled all apart
Collecting the pieces of the lost yesterdays.

From the eyes of the lost looking for faith
A belief to the soul that has withered and died
Into the dark dips the heart's fall from grace
As the pain tips the face of the child.
