Reflection

Oh, innocence of trust unchecked How stare you back at me? T’was you who fled this heart laid bare Oh, barren calamity Empty now the heart ill used So used to gentle dreams No more to see the flower’s bloom No song but silence’s scream Tell me true, reflection mine Convince these naked eyes What errant way or walk or word Did scorn this heart and thine? Does not love, our love, true love Still soar above the weather? Or like Iccarus, did we dare too high Then, fall to earth unfeathered? I cast my lot on winds of change Though the end be hard to find His siren muse did have her chance Now...I shall have mine.
