In the Graveyard of my Soul
I often visit myself
In the graveyard of my soul
Buried in the deep cold ground
My pure self is found
Trying to escape
Trapped behind the mirror of my past
I am now a sinner
I am cruel
I am dark
My innocent self
A distant memory
My innocent self buried deep within me
I know longer wish to see
My innocent pure self
Still haunts me
I try to escape
I try to walk away
Yet, I always see a reflection of me
Before the world broke my heart
Before my warm heart grew cold
Before my life experience
Shattered my pure innocence
I can never escape my pure reflection
I look in the mirror in the graveyard of my soul
My innocent pure self takes hold
She won’t let the reflection of her sinner self go
Even though she is buried in the graveyard of my soul
The mirror of my past won’t let go
