I looked into a mirror
And all I saw was gray
I tried to make it clearer
But the picture fades away
And you could try to save me
But I’d only drag you down
So run away while you can
As I lay here face down
Well my feelings decay
So I’ve locked them all away
And I’m so sorry
But you’re too late
My caring is so pointless
It always seems to end
And if this life doesn’t break me
It will surely make me bend
My lips are just a muzzle
I’ve broke the key in pieces
I have never found the answer
And it rots my thoughts like cancer
Well my feelings decay
So I’ve locked them all away
And I’m so sorry
But you’re too late
You ask me what is life like
When your heart has turned to stone
So I ask you what is life like
Being made of flesh and bone
And you know I want to tell you
But we’ve been over this before
And I’d love for you to tell me
If I could love anymore
Well my feelings decay
So I’ve locked them all away
And I’m so sorry
But you’re too late
Well my feelings decay
So I’ve locked them all away
And I’m so sorry
But you’re too late
We’re too late

so sad, familiar, and eerily beautiful; the emotion is paved out flawlessly in my opinion.
i'm jealous of your ability, sad for the emotion, in love with the poem.
a favorite to reread, learn, and remember.
