The mirror I’ve been avoiding is the mirror that set me free…

I’ve purposely been avoiding spaces where you might be.

I don’t want you to see it in my eyes,

just how much our actions still torment me.

I’m ashamed, I want to forget.

All I want is peace, but my mind won’t let me.

Today….there was no escaping.

She walked right up beside me with a smirk on her face.

She paused for a split second and looked me dead in the eye,

like she had a secret she wanted to share with me.

But no words were needed, we both knew, didn’t we?

It’s been a long time coming,

but finally my mind can break free,

from this illusion

that is was you and me.
