Reflection

August 20th, 2005

I push you away
To pull you back in
Can’t get you out of my head
You’re under my skin
You’re a curse
That’s meant to fade
You’re cold like ice
And smooth like jade
In your mirror
Is your reflection
In my eyes
Is your rejection
In your heart
There’s no trace of me
In my heart
Is what your reflection can’t see

Broken Smile

May 29th, 2005

I see the girl
With the broken smile
She’s in the mirror
And has been lost for a while
She’s disappeared
Into an empty dark place
And the only thing left of her
Is her picture
No smile on her face
No evidence to trace
I’m the only one who sees her
Nobody even wants to be her
Her broken smile is on her face
Her shattered heart beats one last time
And that broken smile on her face
That broken smile’s mine

Confidant

January 2nd, 2018

Here’s to starting something new
But I don’t know what to write
I hold so much inside
And it keeps me up at night
Am I being honest with myself
Or do I not know what I want
The reasons have piled up
Why this is my confidant
I’m running out of people
That I can tell the truth
I watch them slip away
As I’m aging out of youth
My head spins in confusion
My heart is falling behind
I’m trying to break free
But I’m feeling so confined
I keep reaching out for help
They all watch me as I drown
I don’t know what to do
These thoughts will bring me down
