Mirrors

Why do I appear shattered Why am I broken Why am I viewing myself In a thousand pieces It ripped through the veins Poured from the body Draining me of purity Bruising my integrity Stealing my dignity I've become numb to love From another Obsession so deep I can't stand too suffer To look into this mirror And see I have become u Identity shifts Breaking rifts Of floating ships That could sink Hitting ice tips Watching my lips Silence Before you fall How do I see myself Watch you Love him The same way You watched me Give him Something I wasn't given by you And now he hangs with his friend Then he becomes him N you become me How damaging To see you hurt But to move with your heart Yet love with your eye The man I've become To see all the things I've overcome Where I flipped "m" To become we Numb To your love You see we Took time To build up my happy No need to wreck it My home has been built With self love And perseverance Then u become us Where we Have become the community Searching for something to lust Because one of us Didn't seem to fond of you I didn't want you To leave We didn't want you to seem Lost with us in between you and me But the connection was lost When we became three Stare! At yourself! This is the damage you caused Look at the disappointment Resting on your face Glare! At the hatred You created When you dated Us then faded From us To you Flare! Up in anger What you have done To wager Our heart For ur hanger Hanging me up To play a player Who played you For me And now us have become we And you have become community property Look in that mirror Broken to see Yourself glaring back at me
