Love In the Mirror

(Written some time ago, not that long.)


Flight bound on my way
to the land apart.
Where no memories of you
poison my awoken heart.
Here I know of no 12 bar shame,
the boy was the same
as the day the sky called him out.

Fight around my brain,
heart and fervent memory
over whether my ends are mine
or fates cruel chemistry.
So many ways of my touch
when my gifts were not enough
now only reach for what isn't there.

I didn't need a new way
I didn't need more to say
I didn't mean to hold on
till the feeling was gone
I just needed the love in the mirror.

There wasn't a melody in my head
that could save me.
