I walked by the mirror and what did I see?

I walked by the mirror and what did I see?

Except a dimmer version of me?

It doesn’t seem right.

It doesn’t seem fair.

No more pointing and learning of the trees overhead,

No more feeling proud when your belly I have fed,

No more laughing in front of a roaring, wintertime fire,

No more walks to the creek, praising the birds, oh, their choir.

When you left us did you forget about me,

When I was small enough to be carried to sleep?

There’s a hole in my heart that you carved with your knife.

Now I’m bleeding from my core but trying to rehabilitate life.

It doesn't seem right.

It doesn't seem fair.
