Maze Of Mirrors
Alone in here and I can't see
who lost you and who lost me
you're somewhere in this maze of mirrors
I can see you everywhere
approach myself as I approach you
reach for you but nothing's there
but pale reflections of yourself
and cold hard feel of glass beneath my fingertips
you're not even fighting me
so where's your loving kindness now
the softness and the warmth of your inviting lips
no longer inviting me
what am I supposed to do
how do I get back to you?
and should I even bother now
if I'm the only one who cares
no longer see you coming for me
dreaming as you're standing there
a figurine of what you were
shot through with holes
and misconceptions spilling out
trailing as you walk away
the sword of our experience
have cut us into slivers of our darkest doubts
of what it all meant yesterday
no one there beside me
to catch the rain and channel fire
shield me from the tempest
as it pours down from the sky
who is there to guide me
while I soothe you into fitful sleep
who is there to smooth the road
where shards and splinters lie
who is there to point my path
if you don't care to help me by
and how do I know where I'm going
'cause where I am, that isn't clear
define myself without a reference
define myself without you here
your reflection ain't the real thing
hey lady, are you leaving
I can't see us in the mirror any more
