Me crying over my years stolen from me
I see eyes that are dark and filled with pain,
Confusion, loneliness, never to be loved again
I see a lost scared youth, having to grow up too fast
Eyes full of fear, disdain to all who were part of the past
I see a face that shows fear, eyes older than their time
Fear of failing, rejection, alone and far from the vine
A youth that wants love, someone to make it alright
Not alone in his thoughts throughout the dark night
I see a young fellow, with fears of rejection
A boy that opens his heart, just for affection
I look in the mirror to eyes full of regret
Tears show the sadness, pain and loneliness yet
These eyes belonged to me but now I see another face
One of courage and understanding taking over that space
A face full of kindness, sweetness, and love
A face of a friend, a confidant, but not from above
This face is inside me, known only to me
A face with no rejection, just a love given free
Thought miles divide us, and keep us apart
You'll always be in the mirror and deep in my heart
Giving me the strength needed to get thru the day
Always near, never never very far away
The face in the mirror I most times do see
The face in the mirror I know is just me
