Echoes of a Reflection
Echoes of a reflection mourn for you,
distant memories cry out in the night-
Silhouettes of ebon ways adore you,
for I have been blinded by pain’s poor sight.
Nothing is better; nothing seems quite right...
just as long as you can be mine tonight.
I sat in the diner and saw you stare,
you and your masculine scent so intense-
Peaceful and barren skin so debonair,
with a passionate fever so immense.
You walked up to me, it was very tense,
all of a sudden, my life didn’t make sense.
Echoes of a reflection cry in vain,
they cease to exist when you are so near-
You captured my essence, heartache remains,
leaving nothing but a soft shadowed tear.
All the shocking insanity, the fear...
left me echoing alone, standing here.
You need not worry for I'm not afraid...
reminiscence of betrayal conveyed.
