Mirrors

by Shah   Mar 6, 2021


Why is it that every night I feel
Sad, lonely and so deserted

Eyes fill with tears and then overflow
Crying without a sound in silence

A pain for which there is no cure
A void which never shall be filled

A missing which daily is extended
A kind desire brutally slaughtered

But I know that I'm not the only one
Awake this time and trying to sleep

You never said and probably won't
I never asked but I feel what's there

Tears and pain and some sadness
Loss of sleep and some distress

I don't claim to know everything
But what I know is what I feel

What I feel is what reaches me here
What reaches me here is present there

Reflected from such a huge distance
No borders able to stop it from coming

And I bet you feel my pain and suffering
Laying in your bed you are wondering

How he might be feeling on this side
How he might be spending his nights

The mystery is nothing new to me
And the awareness you also do have

Some time ago we were each others mirrors
And the truth is that it hasn't changed

A little broken and somewhat cracked
Still able to reflect because we are mirrors
