beyond the startling sadness lives a lonely place
your eyes surprise the darkness
that never sees my face
behind the broken mirror looms a somber spirit
left with nothing to embrace
its shadow betrays the brightness
before the dreary daylight detects a trace
wasting words for no one
i shall leave with fallen grace
beneath the blackened veil cries an endless tear
too fragile for the human race
where a screaming secret whispers
beyond the startling sadness lives a lonely place
