Hidden from view
My heart from you
Not round the next corner
No where to be found
Pick up the pieces
If that’s what pleases
You will never find me
In this shattered mosaic
I was lost long ago
How I don’t know
Faded in the mirror
No one looked then
You caught a piece of my eye
As you were sadly walking by
How you saw it
Remains a mystery
“Come out from there
You look sad, ensnared
Let me look at you
Make you smile”
He talked and made me look
read to me a book
Vowed to never leave
We were all we had
Then one day
It’s hard to say
What happened
to the walls of my jail
I was set free
He fell to his knee
Entreating me
To live my life with him
I will gladly roam
With him my home
I am captive no more
the dungeon in the mirror
