Reflection

Posted: 17th October 2001 by Jab in Poetry

I look out the window and what do I see

But the reflection of myself looking back at me

 

It never used to be like this, or any time before

I used to see my dreams, and everything I had in store

 

Recently my mind had been clouded, and I don’t know why

Could it be the recent events, between you and I

 

I know it has not been easy, not quite that smooth road

But that didn’t mean you had to leave me here out in the cold

 

You stirred my mind, my reflection too

I have to get back on track, and I know what to do

 

You told me to leave and not to have hope

Well this is the only way I know how to cope

 

I want my reflection back, out the window when I look

And give back my sanity and dreams that you took.
