Tear drop
Fall down
Stare at
The ground
Broken mirror
Wavering
Expectation
Quavering
Shattered reflection
In your eyes
Such disappointment
Isn’t wise
Forgotten dream
Lost in the light
Another day
Another fight
They watch so rapt
With empty eyes
Shards of bright hope
So many lies
Are you so blind?
Can you not see?
Be on your way
You don’t know me

Tear drop
Fall down

The ground
Broken mirror
Wavering

Shattered reflection
In your eyes
Such disappointment
Isn’t wise
Forgotten dream
Lost in the light
Another day
Another fight
They watch so rapt
With empty eyes
Shards of bright hope
So many lies
Are you so blind?
Can you not see?
Be on your way
You don’t know me
