Dawn of Reflection
Reading into silence again
Dreaming I saw what became
The posture of a faded abuse
The smile of escaping the truth
Watching every movement again
Awareness leaving proof of my game
The mirror of a breeding dispute
The reflection I despised and refused
Turning every corner again
Looking for a window of shame
The door to an innocent sky
The ladder of my innocence hides
Running into silence again
Dreaming all that grew in my name
The heart of a world that despised
The anger overtook and we died
Floating through another again
Words that she spoke were in vain
The prayer of a weary dispute
The reflection has now turned and refused
