A gaze into a gaze into the eyes of the woman staring back at me I wonder what was she accomplished by the end of her journey Shes standing at the crossroads in All paths look the same She wonders if she's just a player in someone else's game All the expectations are tearing her apart which direction should she go She must follow her heart Her memory is filled with broken dreams and empty promises her tears are proof of the pain that Still Remains. Shes being pulled to the left and pulled to the right, she often wonders if she will make it through the night. there's nowhere left to run there's nowhere left the hide the hurt that she feels can she keep it all inside The things that loves can she put them on hold long enough to get herself out of the cold no not even for a day she just can't seem to let it end that way. she likes the high the buzz the tweek the rush, even though she claims it's not worth all the fuss. It started out as fun for us but now it's just plain dangerous she's becoming confused forgetful and on edge she wonders will she soon fall off the ledge? She's hanging on by a thread the water is becoming harder and harder to tread. SHE'S tried so hard to make her life right she just can't manage to find the light. She's tired of fighting an endless fight so she has come, seeking my advise The words I have, they are very wise, I just can't manage to get them to rise. I try so hard to tell her what to do, but the look in her eyes is asking me what did I expect from you? And so I turned to walk away... and paused to look back and see what she had left to say. And when I turned to see her eyes, you can't imagine my surprise. This woman who poured her soul out, yes indeed, she was merely a mirror reflection of me.
