Lonely Looks Back
This is an interesting poem. Kind of about me, but kind of not.
I look in the mirror and
Lonely looks back;
Surrounded by friends and family but
Lonely looks back.
Now the mirror shows a playground with children everywhere and still
Lonely looks back.
Reflected in the mirror is a classroom, complete with teacher and classmates yet
Lonely looks back.
A few years later in the mirror I see a platoon of brothers and even then
Lonely looks back.
Years fly by and now the mirror displays a broken house, a broken dog, a broken man, and
Lonely looks back.
A coffin being lowered into the earth, and a crowd of mourners, friends, and sympathisers are the focus of the fading mirror, and deep below the earth
Lonely looks back.
I look in the mirror and
Lonely looks back;
Surrounded by friends and family but
Lonely looks back.
Now the mirror shows a playground with children everywhere and still
Lonely looks back.
Reflected in the mirror is a classroom, complete with teacher and classmates yet
Lonely looks back.
A few years later in the mirror I see a platoon of brothers and even then
Lonely looks back.
Years fly by and now the mirror displays a broken house, a broken dog, a broken man, and
Lonely looks back.
A coffin being lowered into the earth, and a crowd of mourners, friends, and sympathisers are the focus of the fading mirror, and deep below the earth
Lonely looks back.
