Mirror, mirror—do you see?
It implants the beauty so true.
With the bites of my love on you,
You look like a goddess in glee.

You see the facade beauty of me,
While I am just a soul so weak.
The bites of torture engraved in me
Horrify me to the core, remind me of drowning in the sea.

I see a face so divine,
You look so fine, like mine.
Your eyes have love's shine,
And I am ready to nourish you with wine.

But behind this mask, I am dying inside,
I am broken, desperate to hide.
Your love kills me every night,
Please, leave me this one time.
