(Untitled for now)

In the dark

my mirror shows no reflection

please leave off the lights

it's for my own protection

 

I don't want to see

the change in my face

where there use to be a smile

a line now takes its place

 

My eyes use to shine

happy and carefree

now there's this shadow

that has captured me.

Perty good. Once what was now no longer is. You demonstrate that perfectly in an emotional way.
