i took a look in a mirror
but didn't recognize the reflection
all my life i had been trying to live
in the best way i possibly could
but the tattered polaroids and love letters
no longer meant anything anymore
somewhere out there
i knew she had already moved on with her life without me
i could remember the words she said like it was yesterday
i could still make out her retreating figure
when i silently screamed for your return
i remember your touch
each tear on your face a pain in my side
the sting on my lips still lingered
from your final goodbye
but i could still make her out in the distance
if only she knew my pain.....
if only i knew hers.

lonely nights under the infinite sky
counting each star
as the number of times i left you heart broken,
my soul had gotten on the train back home with you
and I was alone once again
a life without you was a life without myself
my memories faint silouettes pinned on the blank walls
of an empty void inside of me  

attempting to live once again
i stepped out into a world i no longer knew
where my presence was no longer noted
by the eyes of someone special
looking in the cloudy window panes of my wretched soul
i recognized your reflection
a memory scattered about the tattered pictures and letters
from someone i no longer knew

ouch... that definately hit too close to home. Very stong emotional piece

"i stepped out into a world i no longer knew
where my presence was no longer noted
by the eyes of someone special
looking in the cloudy window panes of my wretched soul"

Such a powerful statement... amazing write, thanks for sharing it

You free your life."
