Gone

by Njeria

A betrothed daughter of Lucifer A child of innocent and kind That is who I am A shadow I so long to come from A warmth I want to feel The smiles and tears are fake yet from the heart A chapter closed Looking at the mirror I can't see Trying to hold a hand of steel Trying to understand a book I have read 100o times
