The Awaited Realization

My Reflection, As i stare at you, My uniform disheveled, The aura of loneliness only too obvious, I think to myself, What am i in your eyes? My Reflection, As i stare at you, I reminisce, Oh how enigmatic you were, Gave everyone a chance to see you whole, I look at you now, Someone i barely recognize, But i still wonder, What am i in your eyes? My Reflection, As i stare at you, As i look into your eyes, My mind wonders to the dead, How young and beautiful they might be, Suddenly death is such a good word, I source for answers, What am i in your eyes? My Reflection, As i stare at you, As a drop of tear, Makes its way down your spotted cheek, I wish you wouldn't cry, I wish i could embrace you, Restore you, Assure you, But you yield no response, So i ask, What am i in your eyes? My Reflection, As i stare at you, As i watch you painfully bleed, You look at me, As if longing for my embrace, Our eyes meet, Should i just let you bleed? Should i let those tears run? Or should i free you miss, From the bondage you built for yourself, You look away, What am i in your eyes? My Reflection, As i stare at you, Suddenly all your flaws become priceless, Your beauty surpasses all, You smile, My heart is glad, A goddess in my eyes, But, What am i in your eyes?
