Back to back

by Steven   Apr 22, 2010


As i sit back against this mirror wall
i see only myself on the other end
the sorrow that drains my life
with tears that never hold back
my hand pulling my hair so hard
screaming with anger and despair
on the fact i became this hopeless
i stand up and turn my back
to face my demon
but i don't see myself on the other end
but you trapped on the other side
what started as the lonely me
turned into a picture of the both of us
trapped in our own world
each move i make toward you
each step i take toward you
the distance grows beyond eternal
i'm frozen in the same spot
in fear of losing you
but in reality
you were already far ahead of me
in this mirror image
as i witness the truth behind this trick
i start to lose my mind a little bit at a time
people will never understand this feeling
nobody will ever experience it this way
in this reality where I'm trapped right now
i try to reach out to you
but there is a mirror wall
that divides the both of us apart
are eyes never met once till then
because were both trying so hard
to erase each other from our memories
but as i try harder to forget you each life
you slowly start to slip from my grasp
this is the solution we both chose in the end
there no turning back now
good-bye forever it seems
it's time to let go
this is where we say our final farewell
not face to face
but back to back
as we slowly walked away
without turning our backs
