Steemitcentral Lyrics Challenge Day 10/60 - Reflections - Diana Ross

Reflections - Diana Ross

Through the mirror of my mind
Time after time
I see reflections of you and me
Reflections of
The way life used to be
Reflections of
The love you took from me
Oh I'm all alone now
No love to sheild me
Trapped in a world
That's a distorted reality
Happiness you took from me
And left me alone
With only memories
Through the mirror of my mind
Through these tears that I've cried
Reflects the hurt I can't control
Cause although you're gone
I keep holding on
To the happy time
Ooh, when you were mine
As I peer through window of lost time
Looking over my yesterday
And the love I gave all in vain
(All the love) All the love that I've wasted
(All the tears) All the tears that I've tasted
All in vain
Through the hollow of my tears
I see a dream that's lost
From the hurt
That you have caused
Everywhere I turn
It's like everything I see
Reflects the love that used to be
In you I put all my faith and trust
Right before my eyes
My world had turned to dust
After all the nights I sat alone and wept
Just a handful of promises are all that's left of loving you
Reflections of the way life used to be
Reflections of the love you took from me

Reflection

When a love ends our mind clings to memories and tries to rationalize this instinct that nothing has to do with rationality. So we begin to face how things were going, in front of the mirror inside our mind, we find ourselves reflecting on the reflected fragments of the end of this love. It seems to us that everything we have given it was useless because we feel so empty and lonely. We are trapped in a world in which reality appears distorted in the reflections of our tears full of pain. The only thing that remains is a handful of promises and the fragments of the love we have given but it has not been reciprocated.
