Broken Love

Courtrooms and CAGES
Arrests, scared...scarred from 
the RAGES!

Broken hearts from broken 
doors.
Glass SHATTERED!
The consequences didn't seem 
to MATTER!

Built me new!
Tore me down.
Never built me BACK!
I don't know which hurt worse  
the first... or the last ATTACK!

It was me and you.
Then US!
Now it's you and ME 
SEPARATELY-
No TRUST!

Epiphanies, metaphors, 
moments of CONNECTIONS
We had it all through deep 
INTROSPECTION. 

I may have been your mirror 
but you were mine as WELL,
In your reflection I saw 
heaven...
in my reflection, you saw HELL!
