My Mirror

by Afraid4forever

I looked into life's mirror and I saw you
A perfect reflection of me
Fitting together flawlessly
Inseparable were we

I didn't see life coming
I just saw a boy in black
I had no knowledge of what he had begun
Slowly my reflection changed
Bit by bit I lost you, the reflection in my mirror hazy
But I had hope

I tried to work it out
Placing the pieces back where they belonged
It took too long for me to realize I couldn't
You no longer wanted me around
Those endless nights or laughter and jokes were gone
All just a memory of the past

All too soon he was gone
And I was there, like I'd promised
By your side to pick up the pieces when you were too broken to try
I must have done too good a job too
Because all too soon I lost you again

But I couldn't do it anymore

Sitting around hoping to be acknowledged
Like a wet dog left out in the cold
Forgotten for another day

I broke the mirror, what did it mean anymore?
There would never again be that friendly face smiling back at me
That person didn't exist anymore
I stood alone

Yet somehow I couldn't do it
I couldn't walk away on the life I loved
I did my best to find her, in the pieces sprawled across the room
All I saw was a stranger
Not even recognizable as that person I once loved

A part of that once grand mirror is always with me
Hoping that maybe one day I'll look in the mirror and see her again
That face of warmth and comfort
I know the chances are small
And that I've probably lost you for good

But I can't stop reminiscing
About your reflection in my mirror
