Reflections

I’m looking back at you,

Do you see it, too?

Tired eyes, a war within,

A broken man, wearing thin.

*

You can’t handle any of this,

Should I embrace the abyss?

You're nothing but a broken shell,

I’m a man that’s been through hell.

*

All these scars on your soul,

Can’t recall when I felt whole,

You just want her to fix this,

All I need is a single kiss.

*

I’m here, so don’t listen,

His lies sparkle and glisten,

You want to breathe, to feel okay,

I need help to keep the demons at bay.

*

I don’t know where to start,

I will be careful with your heart,

Will you pick me up when I fall?

I will be there with you through it all.

*

My hope has been depleted,

You're broken, not defeated,

Can you see past this night?

Together, we can share the light.

*

Sorrow pulls me deeper down,

Let it go, or you will surely drown,

May I wash upon your shore?

My arms are open; say no more.

*

I brought along these pieces of me,

Reflections of who you used to be,

Should I just leave them all behind?

They no longer serve your design.

*

I suppose you’ve been right all along,

You were drawn to the truth of my song,

I can start anew within your embrace,

Anything is possible in this endless space.

*

Stop and look in my sapphire eyes,

The voices have ceased their cries,

Bask in peace, what do you see?

I see the future, reflections of you and me.
