Reflections Of The Mirror

When I opened my eyes they met you,
And I found myself in the ocean of darkness,
Where love was buried under your eyes,
But buried also your pains and agonies.

When I jolt my eyes open,
I felt broken and shaken,
To the truth that I see,
You love someone else and yet, I believe my chance will come soon.

My belief betrays me,
I live my life with a lie,
I cry I wail, I write and sing,
Only to see the truth that was already in front of me.

I fooled myself into loving you,
I fooled my soul away,
Broke my weakling heart and shook my soul in a day,
Now, I’m too scared to get it broken again.

I’m too scared of loving again,
This heart and soul is not that strong,
This person loves himself too much,
I see my reflection in the mirror,
I reincarnate myself.

Not to love someone too deeply,
Not to fool myself,
Only tell me the truth,
But, I don’t recognize my reflection in the mirror.
