"All for nothing."

I woke up one morning and couldn't find myself in the mirror.

I went about my day. I looked in every mirror, window and puddle.

I was no where to be found.

My eyes have gone dark and my spark had gone out.

My heart wouldn't let me in.

I kept searching.

I looked in every face that passed me by...

I have prayed, meditated, drank, and smoked.

Still... nothing.

Somewhere along the way I lost the key to myself.

I wore a mask to disguise myself.

No one would know me.

I didn't know myself.

Eventually, my mask fooled me.

I wasn't real.

Did I really exist?

Then I heard your voice...

I turned, seeking the face to the voice that ignited my soul.

It was You...

I looked into your face and I saw myself, again.

It happened so quickly.

Every text, joke, sad, happy, angry moment...

unlocked me.

Little by little.

I started seeing myself for me, again.

I began to see myself in every mirror, window and puddle.

I started to heal.

Even now, through tear soaked eyes.

I can still see me.

I can feel again.

You unlocked my heart.

Even though it was never yours...

You can never say to me, those words …

Because loving someone is never,

"All for Nothing." ...
