Sentimental Case

Sentimental Case - Stephen Brodsky

Oh hello lucky face

What you looking at

Sentimental case

Long before this appeared

I was so beautiful

I was in the clear

A staring contest with myself

With no end result

You best give up the games I stare

But my reflection aims to win

Go on in time to erase

All of your ugliness

Sentimental case

Will the pain come to pass

If I smash the mirror

If I break the glass

So easy to conceive

But so hard to create

If this is what it's like trying to find a cure

But what all my eyes can see

Is that time was cruel to me

Oh no no no in my mind

I'll make myself go blind

So that my heart won't have to feel

A time once so surreal

Not you again

Wretched face

Whatcha gawking at

Sentimental case

Self conscious boy in a daze

You make me horrified to return your gaze

A staring contest with myself

With no end result

You best give up the games I stare

But my reflection aims to win

So easy to conceive

But so hard to create

This is what it's like trying to find solutions

But what all my eyes can see

Is that time was cruel to me

Oh no no no no no in my mind

I'll make myself go blind

So that my heart won't have to feel

A time once so surreal and full of pain
