Ian Petch Poet Lyric

This Reflection

Self-replicating, charming lies
My thoughts will carry on despite my eyes
And then the perfect answer calls
Mistake my loneliness for selfless cause

To argue that I can exist
To still believe beyond what I resist
But where’s the ending to my theme?
Where is the will to feel some true relief?

All good and evil drift away
I still pretend that they can have their say
But then I can no longer care
Despite the fact that I feel your despair

Relentless answers in my dreams
I stand awake for every time I sleep
With such an introspective mind
You’d think I’d find a method to confide

No real sadness for my ways
As love will spiral from my heart’s decay
There’s only so much I can speak
As this reflection holds his true belief
