A Realization Wrapped In Bloody Glass

It's all so picture esc 
Like a movie scene where everybodys dead
You're left there grasping on regret 
With your will rotting like the corpse in your hands 
Wishing that you could just sink into the sand 
But your burning fading to ash
Now the grounds turned to glass  

Dazed, staring into the skin of your reflections 
Covered in bruises and contusions 
That come to view like a lifted illusion 
That were held down by your false solutions 

Cracking the mirror won't change the reflection the pieces
Anger and hate increases 
You lay there in a well of bloody tears 
As beautiful as broken glass 
Sit there tossing turning 
Rolling in blood burning 

You grew accustomed taste of death
Passing through your breath 
Which only now you regret 

It seems you weren't prepared for the brutality 
Of your wicked reality
