Mirror

I stare in the mirror, but the face isn’t mine

My mind drifts away, lost in space and time

A soul left wandering, searching for home

In a world full of strangers, yet I’m not alone

I see their tears, I feel their pain

But I don’t know why, can you tell me my name?

Then a moment of light, a moment so clear

Familiar faces drawing me near

I smile, I laugh, I feel like me

But the moment fades like waves on the sea

They hold my hand, they whisper low

Stories I told them so long ago

I try to hold on, but the memories slip

Like sand through my fingers, a tightening grip

I see their tears, I feel their pain

But I don’t know why, can you tell me my name?

Then a moment of light, a moment so clear

Familiar faces drawing me near

I smile, I laugh, I feel like me

But the moment fades like waves on the sea

I'm sorry, my dear, but who are you?

Can you tell me where I am, what I used to do?

The mirror stares back, empty inside

A heart full of love, but a mind left behind

I stare in the mirror, but the face isn’t mine

A soul still searching, lost in time...
