My faith in this is fading
It's beaten black and blue
You're making it even harder
For me to follow you
I can cry out for an answer
I can weep away the pain
But looking in your eyes
I only see disdain
"There's beauty in the breakdown"
That's what she sings in refrain
That face is getting uglier
That face is causing pain
It's harder to refuse you
It's becoming out of hand
You're giving me your glare
You dare me to take a stand
But there's no way out of this
No turning back around
One chance for your redemption
I'll finally stand my ground
Looking at your face now
So new this blatant terror
Facing my dear enemy
But I step now from the mirror...

Wow. Simply beautiful and amazing. As soon as I read the preview, I clicked on it and had to read the whole thing. The rhyming is perfect and the feelings come across clearly. You told the story perfectly. =)

i dont even know what to say besides this is amazing. I did not expect the ending what so ever which made it twice as beautiful. I usually am not fond of rhyme but you pulled it off. Great job
