the muse woke me up with this today, not exactly as she was quoting it this morning... words got lost somewhere at work today.

look in the mirror
and what do i see
a solitary figure
staring back at me

lonely is the path
of day to day
wrinkles tell the story
of come what may

reflections of time
as it rushes by
sunsets, sunrises
and forlorn sighs

little girl dreams
of true love and romance
slowly dwindling
is the chance

the woman there
confident and sure
best friend in view
no heartbreaks to endure
