Tears For Reflections Past

It happened fast, like a camera flash Next I know she tip toes across my heart strings She dances across it Brief like mistletoe, awkward like middle school Steppin on toes, her laugh turns hollow Simple tune and my fears prove true As the Celestial turns Demonic And I rip The stars from the sky for ammunition Another part of my childhood turns victim Another grave stone to mark a failed expectation I scream in the memories I shed tears for reflections past Another smile built as an ashtray Another shot and my sight goes amber I was once the glass menagerie staring through the looking glass Pressure cooked and shattered, eyes turned to broken glass All I see are nightmares and faded dreams As I hide in sleep simply to reminisce As I saunter through my scar garden
