Is she here, or is she there?
Or in your mind everywhere?

Those dark hypnotic eyes, that fleeting deadly glance
Held fast, enthralled by the seductive trance

The hardened exterior of one whom has seen
The harsh reality of it all, the chaos and the fall

Barriers to protect against the paralyzing pain
It always comes like onslaughts of black rain

The walls crumble, and the sun shines down
Inner beauty fit for a bejeweled crown

Fighting all the fear, hate, rage
Destroying that stunted cage

Stronger than steel, purged in fire
Filling all who glimpse with desire

Just to see, what could be

Is she here, or is she there?
Or in your mind everywhere?
