I asked my reflection what his name was
I wondered if he could see the way
But he didn’t respond
Just kept staring at the pond
His mouth forming every word that I say
I asked my reflection for an answer
To the questions that I would never say
But he didn’t respond
His face stayed in the pond
And I pondered “Is it worth throwing away?”
I asked my reflection for a meaning
A reason to stay here day by day
But he didn’t respond
So I lay down in the pond
And he watched a lifeless corpse float away
I asked my reflection what was happening
A light shown all around, a beaming ray
But he didn’t respond
As he rose out of the pond
And in this barren space with me he lay
