Decisions of life
Reevaluate life,
As in decisions made.
Fresh start now
Or live in strife
First think about
what good there has been
And then of happiness lost
into the wind.
A person stands before you
Do you know them now?
Do you see what I see
No smiles, just frowns.
The dawning of clarity
Steps forth from the shadows
And at last you can see
The broken love arrows
Was it time or despair
That brought you here?
Was it the endless battle
Or the loss of fear?
I stand before you
Pleading my case
As a maker of sadness
Across your face
A mirror reflects
Your outermost disguise
But mine reflects
The inevitable demise.
