Mirror

Staring in the mirror, I see a familiar face. Someone I once knew very well.
Looking at her now, I see an empty shell. She's trying to reach out to me,
but I close my eyes. I'm just not ready.
I keep turning away from where I need to be. I know what I'm doing.
It is clear for me to see. I'm running away as fast as I can.
No destination, no well thought out plan.
The one moment in time when it just feels right... that is what I'm waiting for.
Searching every face in every place, wondering where it may be.
That one single moment to bring genuine happiness.
Just one moment to remember all my life.
That is what I live for.
while patiently waiting for the other side of me.
Where is she?

No More

Night after night I'd whisper this song
close by your ear I'd sing these words
Hoping and wishing that just this once
You'd hear the things I'm begging you to feel
So many times you've held me close
without touching me at all

I walk in this house you keep calling home
Today, more than ever, I feel so alone
You nod my way, a passing glance
Anticipating night fall
ready to take another chance
A chance to fake a love that doesn't exist
Eager to play a role, so far long gone

Tonight, something is different
I can't remember the words to the song
I was so content in singing
Something about tonight tells me
we're done
And I won't give you another chance
not even just one

I've worked so hard climbing these walls
you skillfully built around you
But Baby
I've fallen for the last time
No more nights, singing you to sleep
No more mornings, waking up to me
From this day on, I'm just a memory
