The reflection in the water

By Mistress Morbid

The things I want in life
Are of the reflections in the water
When I go to touch it

It ripples and fades away

Only then to reappear
To toy and taunt with my head
For then again I try to touch it

It ripples and fades away

Sometimes it's laughing at me
And at times it would glare
I would still try to touch it

But it ripples and fades away

Everyday I would sit for hours
Staring at the reflection in the water
I reach out my hand and try to touch it

But it ripples and fades away

When I look in the mirror I see a hideous face
And a beautiful girl in the water
I desperately try to touch it

But it ripples and fades away

    aaah reflections...*I see my self in the reflection of the lake, it shimmers and fades, just as my desire for life. For love. For you.* Reflections of both memory and imagery...My thanks

    Reaching, hoping just this once, the reflection we see is really an alternate plane of existance, and maybe, just maybe we can leap into it...wonderful write. eft me feeling hopeless and alone. :)

    Beautifully conveyed.. The way thoughts of our insecurities fade in and out of focus in our minds, and we create a picture of what we want but it remains forever untouchable. Stunning work.. And you ARE a beautiful girly. :) ~L

    Why thank you! I have had those feelings in the past, and sometimes they are hard to get rid of.
