The Facts

I look in the mirror,
What do I see,
An empty reflection,
Staring back at me,

A person who’s been hurt,
By all the words that have been said,
Now she’s at home,
Wishing she was dead,

She’s been crushed and burned,
Heart-broken and abused,
Its time to take a chance,
Hopefully not get used,

I know this girl,
She’s really something,
No amount of words could describe,
She could be my everything,

But no matter what I try,
She won’t take me back,
I’ve hurt her to much,
An unfortunate true hard fact.

For Sammi, a sweetheart.
