Reflected In Me

Oh, my sweet friend,
Where did you go?
What happened to the girl,
I used to know?
The light in your eyes,
Has become dull and gray.
Leaving your stare,
Seeming somewhat faraway.
But the solace you seek,
In that distant place.
Can’t find a way around,
The darkness you taste.
I see the desperation,
Filling your eyes.
Begging me to free you,
From your self-inflicted lies.
Despair has reared its ugly head,
Consuming, all you used to be.
And now when you look,
You no longer see,
The real you deep inside,
Who was once happy and free.
You feel you have lost her,
And she’ll never return.
But fear not, my sweet friend,
For the truth is simple you see.
Because reflected in my eyes,
You’ll find the real you, in me.
