I saw a shattered mirror today,
Looked in to see a broken reflection,
A remnant of what was.
I saw my broken dreams,
And my swiftly fading past.
I saw all of the pain,
Watched all of the tears,
Standing there silently,
Not glancing away.
I watched a single droplet,
Like a little crystal tear,
Trickle down the broken glass
Until it was stopped in a crack.
It could not escape that crevice,
As I could not escape my past.
Run as I might,
I could not hide,
And now I face it here.
I tried to wash away the pain
With yet more agony,
But mere physical torment
Could not wipe it all away.
I saw that broken mirror,
Took a look inside my soul.
At what I saw, I smiled,
Shook my head and walked on.
I let go of the past
And let it fade,
freeing my wings from the fetters.
And now I look in on my own
fragmented soul,
Turn away
And let it heal. |
