People are like stained-glass windows.<br /> They sparkle and shine when the sun is out,<br /> but when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed<br /> only if there is a light from within.


The darkness falls at your feet
All consuming and unforgiving
The girl in the mirror is not me

Dismantled crown heavy
Shallow smiles, open mouth filled with lies, why am I living?
The darkness falls at your feet

Tainted dreams and lost hope
I have had my misgivings
The girl in the mirror is not me

Pitch black room and hidden knives
The only time when people feel like giving
The darkness falls at your feet

Faceless beings, merging features
All monsters look the same, hate is outliving
The girl in the mirror is not me

Madness lurks beneath the surface
Clawing beneath scarred flesh, demons are not known for forgiving
The darkness falls at your feet
The girl in the mirror is not me

Another villanelle but without following the strict rhyme scheme.
