Reflections - Wayfarer

Don’t lose face, get carried away, out there everybody’s watching,

they can spot a trembling gaze

You’ll dress in layers, put up your hair, careful not to spill your insides;

you’re a sucker for the limelight

You left with broken bones

(I took the longer way back home)

Pretending nothing’s wrong

(You used to be much more convincing)

Using strangers like mirrors trying to put your mind at ease

But we both know your reflection, never brings you peace

You can curse the ground, from your knees, but a gravestone holds no comfort to

a widow when she weeps

You can dry your eyes on other’s sleeves, but you’re just a glass they all can

sip from, they indulge all knowing it comes cheap
