The Mirror

The reflection displays a world of lies,
One where the moon laughs, and the sun cries,
Reversing our world, there's no life inside,
And with every peek, a piece of you dies.

There's so much more to the view that you see,
Hidden inside of us, both you and me,
Locked in our hearts, never to be free,
That darkness exists, and we hold the key.

You'll soon find out what the memories hold,
Because as time goes on, the pieces unfold,
With every piece, the puzzle will grow,
And with every piece, a little more known.

The puzzle complete, the picture is clear,
Inside of your mind, but there's nothing to fear,
This image exists, not going away,
Inside of your mind, and it's here to stay.

This song was written while thinking of you,
To show you mistakes that you already knew,
And what you have broken can never be fixed,
So you fill up that hole, by thinking of this.

This is 'The Mirror' written a really long time ago. I've been looking to sing this since the day that I wrote it.

Oh, and yes. I'm aware that the mirror changes into a puzzel... It's supposed to. You are a puzzle. The mirror displays you.

Someone pointed that out to me on another site, figured I'd clarify for you before it happens here.

Ohh, poetry... and very good poetry at that! I love the imagery, the mirror which reflects the opposite of reality, and the puzzle of your life... very well put. I can see it was written with someone in mind, but it definitely applies to life in general, as well. Very awesome.
