Mirrors

The night opens and I decend

further into empty dreams

filled with empty hope

Every lie you tell

pulls me deeper into

from what I know I can't escape



All around me

I see your face

In circles I turn

frantically searching

for my escape from

this maze of mirrors



You hide in a house of cards

made of forgotten memories

Fragile lies atop one another

towering to the heavens

Just one gentle push

and they all fall

like stars in from the sky



All around me

I see your face

In circles I turn

frantically searching

for my escape from

this maze of mirrors



Your illusions are delicate

free flowing in beauty

like smoke rings on a whisper

slowly fading away in the wind

disappearing in the nothingness

of a moment just passed



Lie to me again

give me comfort

give me hope

give me one more reason

to lie to myself

just one more time

one more time



All around me

I see your face

In circles I turn

frantically searching

for my escape from

this maze of mirrors

I think this is really beautiful. Your words and phrases are so vivid and expressive. I can really feel a sense of your frustration and hurt in it. My favorite part is, "Lie to me again
give me comfort
give me hope
give me one more reason
to lie to myself
just one more time
one more time"
Incredible.
