Fairest

peto

The image I mirror 

It breaks down and cries 

Another reflection 

Without a disguise 

I no longer see

Any soul in these eyes 

The fairest of alls badly cracked 

They stripped out my innards 

To get to my core 

Trampled over ambitions 

To even the score 

Sent me back with an invite 

To knock on death's door 

The fairest is barely intact 

 

Nothing left 

But your breath 

Bringing warmth 

To my frost 

Nothing left 

But the heat 

You provide 

 

Nothing left 

But your breath 

on the lines

It had crossed 

All that's left 

Ebbs and flows 

With the tide

    Ripped open, torn apart, unrecognizable, camouflaged! Nothing changed....but...a breath...flowing tides, all that's left! Really love this one!!

      Maxine and Liz are right, I totally agree,
      And the right lady will put retire the disguise and repair the broken mirror, making u feel like the great and talented man that u are!!! Hold on to her when she make her way to u!!!!she's a keeper!!!

      Especially if she fixes what feels broken, like my husband did for me, the disguises are gone the mirrors are fixed , in whole, IM FIXED

        You could put this to song! Oh my goodness, this is great! I really enjoyed "Nothing left but your breath bringing warmth to my frost". It just speaks volumes in and of itself, so descriptive. Another great one!!
