As i look
into the mirror
i see somebody else
this isn't me.
but then, who am i?
this person
staring back at me
is familiar
like an old friend
yet as i look at her
i am overwhelmed with sadness
as if the two of us have grown apart
over the years
she follows me everywhere
i wish she would go away
i'm trapped in her shadow
stuck with her
when i try to speak
it comes out through her mouth
everything i try to do
she does instead
why am i portrayed through her
this isn't who i am
why is she here
why won't she leave
why?
go away
let me be
i try to make her leave
it doesn't work
she is still here
i think she'll be here forever
but i'm not her
we're not the same person
not anymore
go away
your work is done
now go
please go

I lie on my floor
Unable to move
Passed out from pure exhaustion
I can't go on this way
The real me is fading
Only to be replaced
By a shell of myself
Only the necessary parts
Still there
My mind and soul
Drained
From the troubled thoughts
That consume me
This is no way to live
So why live at all?

You make me feel so many things
almost too many things
Almost
the time we spend together is
Precious
every moment i get to be alone with you
i savour
because you are not only my darling
but my best friend
you are beautiful
and when i look into your eyes
i realize that this is
so much more than what
i could've ever hoped for

and no matter what i try
i can't seem to get you
out of
my Mind
