The Mirror

When I gaze at my reflection I see a soul with no connection; A boy whose faith left years ago, A man whose thoughts always whisper, "No." Cold, glassy, lifeless, and pale, I long for hope in those eyes to no avail. Creases on my brow, though I'm only a score. The lines on my lips plead, "Nevermore." Withered and wrinkled and worn, My face is a canvas that time has torn. No longer will this god see Spring again Youth must always atone for its sin.
