Ruined Thing

A bird that didn't fly,
Man who didn't try.

Stuck in ifs and why,
Train left the station 
And you stood watching 
Instead of hopping on.

The song was ready,
Guitar was tuned.
The song didn't materialize 
As you chose not to sing.

A perfectly ruined thing
Is the one didn't get
Any taint or bruise.

So afraid of the wound,
Stood infront of the mirror 
All life, glorifying one's 
Flawless skin.

But the mirror only 
Amplifies what you hide.
How do you escape 
Your reflection that lies?
