The Reflection In the Mirror

the mirror refuses to
show me see my refection
for every time i stand before it
i see only you in my eyes

the brown planets that used
to show me a broken heart
and cause me to question love
have been replaced by you

you are deep within me
it is your soul i see inside
taking away the view of 
a man with no hope

replacing him with the 
beauty of a woman who
fills his every thought
gives his vision a new day

his sight has been restored
to the dreams of tomorrow
made blind to the pain
he used to see within himself

the mirror refuses to
show me my reflection
instead i see the splendor 
of you in my eyes
