Stranger

A Poem by Hopeless Angel

I see her in the mirror in front of me
As if she is a stranger
And she is
If only I could meet her again
Hear her again
Her voice, so happy and confident
Her face, bright and awake
She gave me hope
She showed me how to defend myself
How to become something of myself
But now she's gone
I think about her from time to time
Hoping she'll come back
And show me how to be myself again
I've turned into something I'm not
Something I hate
And all I want is to be her again
Be the happy go lucky girl
I have forgotten about
My scars show her emptiness I feel
Whether she's far or close
I feel her presence in a distance
Wishing she'd return to me
And make me alive again
