Innocence of childhood.. Purity of heart.. Maimed with time..

Reflection in the mirror ..
The eyes that once gleamed with love.. honesty and peace..
Now doth depicts..hatred.. lies..and emptiness..

Dreams that built a hundred castles..
Are now shattered into a million pieces..

Thoughts that once ignited the flames of happiness.. Now just burns in mere silence..

Games tossed upon..suffocating an emotional side.. Strangling with tags.. Slaughtering a part of me..

There I see..within me... Somewhere..
In the deep dark corners I observe..
A scar..

A regret still healing.. But the scar that'll remain for a lifetime..

Reflection..illusion of life.. Or a part of reality..?
