Look in the mirror and you shall see
The mother you yearn for
The friend that left too soon
The brother that was your pivot
The sister that carried different blood
Reflections of a lifetime cut short
Slicing through the hearts
Wenches left behind to tattoo
Turkeys on their bodies
Students sobbingly sway
Reciting chants repeatedly
Daughters desperately
Going to lame reunions
Trying, attempting
To catch a glimpse of what
Appears, seems
To be just gone one day
Leaving tears that fall for eternity
Wanting each moment to be cloned
And never forgotten by those
Who loved and cried and laughed
Look into the mirror and you shall see
Mothers who left appearing unfulfilled
Children who cried all of their lives
Friends whose microphone was a hairbrush
Happiness that could only be touched
By that one person who is gone
Not completely but physically
Vanished into thin air
Only to be returned
Upon gazing into the mirrors of time
The reflections of deep clear water
The weird glimpses on the street
And strange warming shadows of time
The mother you yearn for
The friend that left too soon
The brother that was your pivot
The sister that carried different blood
Reflections of a lifetime cut short
Slicing through the hearts
Wenches left behind to tattoo
Turkeys on their bodies
Students sobbingly sway
Reciting chants repeatedly
Daughters desperately
Going to lame reunions
Trying, attempting
To catch a glimpse of what
Appears, seems
To be just gone one day
Leaving tears that fall for eternity
Wanting each moment to be cloned
And never forgotten by those
Who loved and cried and laughed
Look into the mirror and you shall see
Mothers who left appearing unfulfilled
Children who cried all of their lives
Friends whose microphone was a hairbrush
Happiness that could only be touched
By that one person who is gone
Not completely but physically
Vanished into thin air
Only to be returned
Upon gazing into the mirrors of time
The reflections of deep clear water
The weird glimpses on the street
And strange warming shadows of time
