Persephone

A look in the mirror
I see my face.
Is it.... is it really me?
Is this who I wanted to be?
Tear swollen eyes,
My make-up smudged.
I'm so sorry for showing my tears tonight.
I was a great actor for years.
Always pretending to be strong.
Hiding my grief deep inside.
Please, don't come near
And don't look at me.
'Cause no-one should see
The secrets I bear.
I'm so sorry, you saw me so weak tonight
But I can't fight back my tears.
