Happened chance to see the truth

Fed the lies within our youth

Years of pain

These tears that rain

Distorted mind, distorted truth

Puddles dried so you can't see

Lifeless eyes present to thee

Watch myself daze

Through water's face

Replace my soul, replace me

Liquid former

Shadowed terror

So I venture

In to my past

A utopia

My dream

Saw a vision

To help myself

Drown me now

Sickness of my own

Truth of all the

Lies of which you

Fed in to my mind

Save me from life

Recreate my past

Which I now forget

The times I would smile

With no worries

Make me strong again

Stare in to my eyes

Feel the pain I've felt

Sense the hurt I have

Now that they have gone

Peering down to the river

See myself playing

Younger version of myself

Was once happy and content

Why can’t I live again,

Since I’ve never hurt them?

Touching water...

Grabbing my reflection

Mold myself to my needs

Since I’ve been killing myself

Frigid air held the picture

Froze my perfect reflection

But, I wish to consume

And establish all I used to be

Wish myself back to health

Respect for my own truth

Skipping stones

Scar my face

Youth has died

As have I

You dream of passion no more
