Face In The Mirror

[jediwill83]

I look into my mirror, at eyes that stare at me,
Filled with pain and regret that no one ever sees.

A face that shows warm laughter, and smiles so easily,
Covers neith a veil of flesh my broken shattered dreams.

I look a little deeper, the facade it fades away,
Am I to be forever changed, into this man to stay?

I look into my mirror and see eyes so blue and cold,
As the reflection of my face reveals the windows to my soul.

"You'll never change, accept your fate", the voices bid me hark,
Voices forever with me, like whispers in the dark.

Then suddenly, inside me, a new voice I do hear,
Absent from it accusing words, its warmth so loud and clear.

"I love you ,I always have, and I always will,
I'll trade your darkness for my light, your emptiness I'll fill.

I ran to Him, and did embrace, mercy full and free,
"You've walked in darkness far too long, come and follow Me."

I turned from fear, and stepped away, His nailscarred hand so kind,
"I've loved you now for oh so long, I'll love you for all time".
