I looked in the mirror,
Not recognizing her face.
Who was this woman
Who had stolen my place?

The sad looking eyes
Were starring my way.
This isn't the woman
Who was with me today.

No smile on her face,
Only tears that stained.
She wasn't here earlier,
This woman looks strained!

Her lips are quivering,
And she seems so uptight.
Where is the woman
Who was with me last night?

Her hands are trembling,
She seems so full of fear.
What will it take
To bring brighter days near?

Every saint has a past and every sinner has a future. ~Oscar Wilde~
