Reflections

Looking in a mirror

Reflecting on my youth

At all lines the miles have left

On this lonely road to truth

Memories of days gone by

The good ones and the bad

Remind me of the losses

And all the love I've had

Wondering how I got this far

Much closer to the end

Alone here in this empty room

And trying to pretend

I somehow made a difference

Some way to ease my mind

Searching for some purpose

That seems so hard to find

Tomorrow brings a new day

A chance to find some light

To chase the doubts inside in this heart

That find me every night

Sing a song for The Pretender

Still trying to believe

There is some rhyme or reason

In this tapestry I weave

Too Much Time

I've got too much time here to myself

Too many thoughts inside

Afraid someone will see the things

I try so hard to hide

Too many hours to reflect

On where it all went wrong

Too many nights spent listening

To that same old sad song

Regrets and perfect hindsight

Work hard to bring me down

And I question all the reasons

That  still keep me around

Cursed with a good memory

That holds on to a past

Where life was built on promises

That had no chance to last

Never thought that this far down the line

I'd be here on my own

With too much time to think about

The reasons I'm alone
