REFLECTING
In the reflection I see you so broken inside;
On reflection I should have tried more.
In the reflection I see so many secrets that hide;
On reflection I was a closed door.
In the mirror he stands, a face from the past,
A victim of life and of choices;
A failure at work, a failure at love,
A head full of negative voices.
In the waters of love I see him;
I forgive him for all of the pain.
I forgive him for tossing my dreams to the side,
And for throwing my hopes to the rain.
In the reflection now stands a figure,
So proud and incredibly free.
On reflection I thank him for guiding me here
To all that I know I can be.
