| On the Other Side of the Looking Glass She pushes the puzzle to the back of her mind, She closes her eyes and tries to unwind. �Go to sleep, Go to sleep� And she knows this won�t work. So she reaches for death, And pulls up the sleeve of her shirt. In 15 seconds it will be all right, And maybe she�ll sleep for the rest of the night. As her mind drifts away to another place, Standing in the doorway Tears run down her best friend�s face. She whispers �goodnight, I�m sorry, I was too late again� �You promised you�d stop, but you lied again� �Life was so easy when we were young, You filled me with joy, and the days were so fun� �We laughed and loved with the vitality of youth, When I looked in your eyes then, I saw truth.� �Then problems got harder, and hearts started breaking� �My head started spinning, At the chances you were taking� �Oh goodnight Babygirl, there�s no need to bring up the past� �You�re so far gone� �On the other side of the looking glass� By Rachel Werner Copyright 2002 |
