I look into the mirror
But what is it that I see?
The person that I once did know
No longer looks at me
Where are you I now ask of them?
You’ve left me all alone
The face that I once recognised
Now lost within my bones
For somewhere they are lurking
Behind that sad façade
Not willing to reveal themselves
To a face that’s now turned hard
The look that I once had when young
No longer in my sights
For the life that I have lived so far
Diminished all its light
The greying of my golden locks
The weakness in my eyes
The drooping of my muscles
Sagging flesh now gently lies
The wrinkles and the furrows
Shadows growing over time
The aging of a face I loved
Now showing all the signs
But there is nothing I can do to stop
The onslaught of this sin
My looks have changed forever
And so have I within
