The Brutal Truth collaboration with Sandra Weiss

My mirror tells the brutal truth,
a woeful tale of vanished youth

Where one eye squints and one eye shines
and broken dreams are long dark lines.

Emotionless and coldly callous
Honesty without spite or malice

Shamelessly silent yet telling all
Reflecting the writing on the wall. 

An image appearing all too clear
Becomes too telling, too austere

Once colorful hues seen on display
Have now faded into a dismal gray

To know and see what is real and true
But then to sadly regret the view.

Telling myself it doesn't matter
Yet knowing, one is bound to shatter.


            Sandra Weiss
