A mirror continues to reflect the me of the past
A one way mirage that continues to last
Showing me what I failed to accomplish
And a life of sorrow with broken promise

If only I could reflect back the future
A piece or two, not a bit fewer
Then maybe this reflection could see who I've become
And change their course, before they feel numb

But something like that is merely a fairy tale
Blown away by the midnight gale
Reality stern continues to crush me whole
And tear apart my suffering soul

As I lay in my bed to rest
The image of me fails its final test
And now only oblivion will remain
The reflection of joy washed away by mistake's hurricane
