this is no fairy tale

There is no happy ending
No knight in shining armour
The mirror shows a reflection
Of a stranger

The glass is cracked
From years of pain
There is no magic spell
To make everything right again

The hand by your side a shield
Your tongue a sword
Your words barbed arrows
Strike me

You have lost hope
In the world around you
Yet if you opened your eyes
You would know I still love you
