A Reflection Of...

A Reflection Of…

 

 

In the mirror there's a body

Broken, bent with doubt

In the mirror there's a body

With its essence flowing out

 

 

All along this long dark road

I've wandered aimlessly

I've stumbled and I've fallen

And I've had no company

 

But I just keep on going

As there's nothing else to do

Once I found a purpose

Let me relate it to you

 

 

In the mirror there's a body

Broken, bent with doubt

In the mirror there's a body

With its essence flowing out

 

 

Once I found a kindred soul

Someone just like me

Lost and young and hopeless

Confused, withdrawn yet free

 

We travelled for awhile

The clouds seemed less grey

Usually in silence

Neither had much to say

 

 

In the mirror there's a body

Broken, bent with doubt

In the mirror there's a body

With its essence flowing out

 

 

Then some words were spoken:

"We have done all we can

It's time for me to go

Please accept this, my friend”

 

I stood there awestruck

Not expecting that

Then the soul was gone

Never coming back

 

 

In the mirror there's a body

Broken, bent with doubt

In the mirror there's a body

With its essence flowing out

 

 

I wandered and I wandered

Searching eagerly

For someone else

Someone just like me

 

I pondered the words

For so very long

I know now what was meant

As I now too am done

 

 

In the mirror there's a body

That no longer needs to flee

In the mirror there's a body

Now falling lifelessly
