MEMORIES

DARK WINDOW GLASS

Tonight I saw myself in the shadows of a darkened past

I looked deep in that dark window glass,

the image of my younger self

as I watched how it was spent

I was a quiet orphan

living in an evil town

I remembered how my name

was very much shamed

while they cast more blame

I saw how others were making my spirit sink

I was young and my heart was full of ink

so I had written those painful times

on my mind.

I could see how all of this got to me

I had to see so many loved ones lost in death

I was about to lose my head.

so, in the end, it wasn't easy to give up

since it contained nothing, but everything.
