Mirror Tricks

The Awakening

feeling like these photo-scenes - your

world is black and in-between - the

paradox you call your life

you stop to cry

i picked up where

they left off and

held you 'til you

were alive and

now the room is mirror-tricks and dappled light

and if you walk away - i won't understand

you were like a work of art - that

had its canvas torn apart and

found itself an icon

in its disarray

i was just an afterthought

who practised everything he taught

but innocence can sometimes

be an enemy

every phase is something new

with your eyes away from mine

oh this isn't living proof

it's only borrowed time

i'm here waiting for you
