Mirror

[ItsSammy]

Show me my deepest desire,

The colour of fire,

Beautiful eyes of perfect green.

Show me my queen.

 

Show me standing with her, love in our eyes as we take on the world.

Show me by her side, nothing to hide as I take her as my bride.

Show us together, in love forever, and I don't lose her. No, never ...

 

Show me her smile, her beautiful eyes.

Show me her hair, the colour of a sunrise.

Show me her laughing in a meadow of flowers.

Show me us together, talking for hours.

Show me the life I wish for in my head.

But don't show me the way it truly was, instead.

 

I want to see her once more, just one more time.

My love for her, surely it can not be a crime.

And yes, I know men have gone mad, looking in the mirror.

But I can not take my gaze from where I see her clearer.

 

I see my wishes, my hopes and my dreams in your shimmering reflection.

But I see my pain, my regret and my sorrow in my minds introspection.

For even though you mirror my face, you've made a correction.

You stand me beside her in all her perfection.

We look so happy together in this projection.

But I know this is just a mere deflection,

From what life is truly like, living with my rejection ...

Now, looking back in retrospection,

I should have given her more affection,

I should have made a better connection,

I should have been there for protection,

But now my mind is just stuck with dissection ...

Dissecting my every imperfection.

Dissecting everything I could have, should have done without misdirection,

But I'm just stuck without a hope for resurrection.

 

Now, standing with my eyes locked on her face.

I can never forget her beauty and grace.

But this mirror is a curse, showing her in white,

Walking down the isle, unlike that dark night ...

This mirror shows my wishes, but it does not show the truth.

It shows my deepest desire, to go back to my youth.

To take your hand and kiss you, like no one ever would.

To tell you "I love you." the way I never could.

To see you in your wedding dress, so perfect and so fair.

To say "I do." and marry you, right then and there.

This mirror shows my only love, my only desire.

To look at you one more time and touch your hair of fire ...
