Face That Wasn't Mine
September 27, 2011
And when I looked into the mirror
I saw a face that wasn't mine
I looked into the future
Saw a world that wasn't time
I saw the face of a woman
Who's years were spent and done
And looked into the past and knew
I wasn't anyone
And when I looked into the water
I saw a face that wasn't there
A swirling mass of expectation
Without promise, love, or care
And when I looked into my life
I saw a future without a past
When I looked into the mirror
I saw the face I'd never have
