The Stranger's Wife

 
Touching the mirror, I look in
My hand on the other side, a beautiful friend
In my life, I reflect  
On all I lost and all that's left
 
So full of life, is the girl on the other side
She knows not, what is to come in her life
I could choose to tell her, the terrors
Or lie to her, that it will be better
 
I see, she has hopes and dreams
To put out that light, has no purpose it seems
Do I warn her of heartaches to come
Or her drowning her sorrows in Malibu Rum
 
Should she know, she'll only be able to cry 3x in a decade
He will never, ever, hold her after the love that was made
She would grow strong, but carry a heavy burden
Lying to herself, to stay in a world so uncertain
 
She would be without a partner or friend
With no way of ever going home again
In a new place, she knows no ones name
She keeps to herself, she is too ashamed
 
She made every decision with the brain in her head
Trying to fix mistakes, without a word said
She would sacrifice her entire life
In order to become a stranger's wife
