Phases And Faces

Remember how your mother

Asked you to not leave her?

At first, it was anger,

Now there's only sorrow.

Don't worry, these are just

Phases and faces, visiting her.

Remember how your lover

Asked you to stop talking to the other man?

At first, it was envy,

Now there's the only desolation.

Don't worry, these are just

Phases and faces, he sees in the mirror.

Remember how your soul

Asked you to plead for forgiveness?

At first, it was regret,

Now there's only disgust.

But don't worry, these are just

Phases and faces,

That you wear,

That you cry,

And that, which you don't pride.
