There is a vanishing face
Staring back in the mirror
I see her everyday
I used to know her well
Time has made her hard to recognize
She’s no longer the girl I knew
Her features are blurred
Disfigured as the dreams she holds
Her life has changed
Seems so very surreal
She is vanishing before my eyes
As if it is playing out in film
Growing so old
Eyes tired and sad
Shrinking amongst the shadows
Vanishing upon the mist
Not the girl that is within
A soul dying to get out
Dancing and singing
Smiling with hope
The girl within
Still has dreams
A timeless spirit
Invincible in every sense
She walks on the edge
Fearless and strong
No one can beat her down
She knows where she belongs
Not the girl in the mirror
A restless soul
Constantly searching
Looking for a place to run
Defeat has become her name
Struggling to face each dawn
Despair her only love
Darkness her only home
She tries to speak
Her words are muffled
Her voice has disappeared
Wasted on unanswered tears
Before me she is vanishing
The light is fading slow
Upon bended knees I still pray
Hoping to stop the slipping away
