The Girl I Left Behind

Who was that girl I left behind
With eyes so dark and fierce
A smile once used for killing time
Now clouded by her fears

Who was the girl who followed
The footsteps in the rain
Drowning away her sorrows
To numb the hurtful pain

Who was the girl who walked alone
With only a shadow by her side
Was it the only thing she owned
And cherished with all her pride

Who was the girl who would disappear
When daylight filled the sky
And why did she always re-appear
When darkness ruled at night

Who was that girl that entranced me
With her life without a cause
Who passed her time steadfastly
A never-ending grand encore

Who is that girl without a face
Her eyes as black as coal
Who froze me still with her icy gaze
And stared deep into my soul

Who is that girl before my eyes
A visionary reflection
A kindred spirit I recognise
A mirror of perfection

Who is that girl that I can see
Who I can feel inside
It seems that she was always me
The girl I left behind
