I used to look in the mirror
before it all fell away
my family
all flew away
not their body
but their souls
disappeared before my eyes
bright blue eyes became gray skies
thundering before me
everytime i asked “why?”
no answer
just more goodbyes
my mirror was my constant
before I noticed my eyes
long lashes grew longer
watered with every tear
growing like vines
along with me
Pupils widened
with every sip I swallowed
with every feeling i hardened
soon it went all black
until one day i fell into a trance driven
driven by a passion
a passioned fulfilled
more like a passion received
a passion refilled
a passion conceived
a mind relieved
a heart with new seeds
feeling a way down my path
expecting walls
expecting bricks to bounce me back to my past
but hitting nothing but hills
making me stronger
helping me to stay alive every time
just a little bit longer
revealing lights
lighting up my eyes
they sparkled with white shades of blue
an elegant beauty restored
a heart reborn.
