Reflection

by Malachi   Mar 11, 2013


I hated you; I loved you
I lay in bed with my eyes clamped shut
You left me here, but with what?
How could I let this love turn into hate?
I put you above even all my mistakes!

You tossed me aside, you gave me away
You lied to me daily without a word to say
How could I listen to all of your lies?
And now I just ask how come and why?

You could be standing right at my feet
And I would fall limp caught in defeat
How could I let you win over strength?
My heart's little wire only has so much length

Objects in mirrors can be so far away
But the truth of the mirror is what makes it okay
You can sit on the edge of a thousand foot cliff
And not be afraid, but just a bit stiff

People are like a tricky car mirror
The closer they get, the better it's clearer
But if you get too close they'll shatter the lies
So I'd advise you be careful and wise

You don't want to end up like that car over there
Yes, the one that is broken and beyond repair
Because people are like that, they can lie, too
They're a little be snarky and tad bit askew

Always be cautious and always be alert
You don't want to be broken or even hurt
'Cause it only takes a second and only a flash
For your life to shatter and to end in a crash!
