I tremble
As I cry...

I stare in the mirror.
I get lost in the glass...

My heart wants to stop
this evermore beating...

Bleeding from this slow denial,
It's hard to speak, let alone smile...

Streams of red flow down her arm,
As she opens that old, crusty scab...

I bear this pain is silence,
As I stubbornly clench my jaw...

Trapped inside this prision,
I feel so lost and alone...
