Reflecting Back At Me

Let in through a window
Navigating blackout
Open the door and innocence faded out
Another moment of you stripping pieces of me
Cloaking in the shelter of obscurity
One eye
Focused on the fallout
As they lay almost lifeless
Strung out
Did my curiosity kill the sanity
Overwhelming the malleable capacity
This is defining
Reflecting back at me
Respawning
Circling my purview
Reflecting back at me
Compromise the comprehension
Reflecting back at me
The damage you are complicit in
Reflecting back at me
Siphoning my energy
You were the one who could stop it
To let it go
Subject a child to a side of life he shouldn't know
Shoulder the load of a burden which you bestow
Living time in the now
No tomorrow
You look back
See
And disregard me as you
Grab the throat of the apparition
Pupils dilate
Override cognition
Father asked the son to carry out his mission
Dropped at a juncture fading purity and grace
This is where it begins
Sinking beneath the skin
Confidence wearing thin
An anxiousness built-in
Now we know where that leads
A disdain for all of you
Leaving this place with a new face
All those years erased
Reflecting back at me
Respawning
Circling my purview
Reflecting back at me
Compromise the comprehension
Reflecting back at me
The damage you are complicit in
Reflecting back at me
Siphoning my energy
I know that you're lost
And that she is too
But remember the two children you have
Who were dealt a bad hand because of you
Now when stroke the match to ignite your wounds
It will burn me too
To
The
Ground
