Bright lights and success has filled my world.
An endless stream of resources at my fingertips.
Lovers everywhere in sight and not one can see my plight.
Night by night I look in the mirror, cursing the lie I see before me.
Poor and a pauper among the rubble of Society, I grasped happiness from your lips.
A penny for your thoughts? A nickel for your kiss?
How could I have been so blind to put a price on what matters most?
There can be no home without you.
No future, just shards of glass that represent my heart.
Damn this reflection, why won't it lie to me.
Everyone sees the great man that I am, why is it I only see the failure that traded his soulmate for a soulless dollar.
So now I can only hope you come back.
Until then, the month, hours... Will make every second a blessing.
Until then, I will wear this mask of lies and hope this mirror shows me a different reflection.
