for the one i pushed away

she looks into the mirror
deep into her eyes
wishing to see a little clearer
but all that shows are his lies

she tries to push past the pain
and tries to smile once more
but the memories come back again
of how he walked out the door

a few years later she lives by her-self
he took her trust and her heart
so she keeps her feelings in a box upon the shelf
with a life she doesn't want to start

I'd give it all to see her smile
to see her set free
to be happy even for a short while
I'd give it all if it wasn't me
