Mirror
I tempted myself
This time before
I tempted myself
To cross over to that other shore
Mirrors on the waters
Telling stories with their rays
Mirrors of the shadows
Counting lonly days
I take one step
And sink just a little
I take another step
With my mirror in the middle
Inch by inch I step
Each sinking slightly more
But I know if I keep going
I will reach that other shore
And on the other side
My reflection in the sand
A contradiction of my sights
My reflection takes my hand
We walk away, in sweet harmony
I have reached the other side
My reflection and me
