You're reflection

[kaylaj]

I look at you and the fake smile upon your face

I look at you and think, "What a disgrace."

I look at you and think of a bright summer sky

But when I look at you I just want to die

Because I am reminded of myself when I look at you

And I think of the bad things...all the bad things I do

 

I look at your hair so shiny and brown

And I see that face...the one with the frown

I watch the tears streaming down your cheeks

And those sad blue eyes are all I can see

Because I am reminded of myself when I look at you

And I think of the bad things...all the bad things I do

 

I can sense your pain when i look into your eyes

And I can tell that your happiness was nothing but a lie

I look at your expression and see nothing but anger

And I feel that to you, I am no stranger

Because I am reminded of myself when I look at you

And I think of the bad things...all the bad things I do

 

Yes, I am reminded of myself when I look at your weak, pale complexion

But I'm glad I'm not you looking into the puddle...I'm just simply your reflection
