Analysis of Ace

I see my reflection so pale
Still it lives to tell the tale
Of a long and boring life
And the events worth the strife
Tales as sweet as candy
That still come in handy
At birth my life started
Upon which love departed
Then dreams began to wish
For a rich expensive dish
In life i've come so far
Tosee i'm not up to par
I've often sat and pondered
How far I could have wandered
In the end we all die
Alas, I say goodbye
