Mirror

I want to see a better me, 
but the mirror never lies.
The only change I ever see, 
is what age takes in time.
I want to see the laughter,
I know I've seen before.
The only laughter I ever see, 
are the memories that show no more.
I want to see the love in me,
that use to chase my fears.
The only love I ever see, 
show now in my tears.
I want to see a better me, 
but the mirror I think may lie.
The mirror can never see, 
what truly lies inside.
