The Surface Seams

My faith in the mirror reversed A fear in the lake of my soul As the surface reflects my love The depth of my pain will just not let go The paradox pulls me down The sun only shines after night Am I certain I can be true When it was darkness that gave me light? Sinking deeper beneath the dreams The mirror has swallowed me whole Has the lake taken all I am? Has the fear become my soul? Transfixed by the deepest loss The life by the lake has gone There’s nothing left to believe All thought has become so wrong My memory replays the past That day I was by the lake Now I recall what I had done I had reached down to touch my face Like waking from evil dreams I’m staring into the sky I look over and see myself Beside the lake where I thought I’d died
