In the Mirror's Eyes

Alas, death sets in The bitter cold at night The chills that haunt my soul Creeping in like a virus It makes no sound But in your heart It always will abound This pain gives offset emotions In the mirror I hate what I see I see, me A person with no future No hope No dreams No aspirations Just one lost soul But what I don't know Is that there is someone who cares Even if I ignore it I make myself oblivious to the love around All I hear is the repeating sound From lost lovers saying no To old friends that let me go I look in this mirror and see Someone who wants to be free Escape the bitter pain But if take my life now it will all be in vain I am unaware Of the little things around The friends that still care The family I still have I take it all for granted And I do not see How much these people Really love me
