Memories

Opened eyes, what do I see?
Someone that I cannot be
I can see my reflection
But I cannot feel the connection
Something's wrong, something's not right
The memories that I should invite?
As I'm getting older
I feel so much colder
I cannot find what I need
My life is almost gone, should I concede?
It's like looking into a mirror
Everything should be getting so much clearer
I still can see my own reflection
But this time I'm falling into rejection
Something I've needed, something I've always wanted
That hurtful pain of memories that has once haunted...
