Reflections

I look into the mirror

Not sure of what I see

Cause lately all there’s been

Are reflections of you and me

Last time I looked into the mirror

I wasn’t ready for the reflection I saw

I saw you holding me, hugging me

Kissing me and all

Unsure of what I’d seen

I tried it once again

For surely there was no such thing

That could bring me back to “then”

And as I looked into the mirror

My mind didn’t know what to do

Cause I saw you looking in my eyes

And telling me “I love you”

And once again I looked in the mirror

Just to once again relive the past

Or at least for a couple minutes

Make the memories last

And this time when I looked

I broke down right then and there

And then started forming

A single crimson tear

I saw you right in front of me

With something in your hands

I tried to lean closer

To help me understand

I reassured my doubts

And I know this for a fact

I saw you take a knife

And thrust it in my back
