Cracked

I'm dying in my heart
I'm frozen in my mind.
My breath refuses to start
My soul I cannot find.

Where do I even begin,
I can only know where I end.
The truth lies beneath my skin
I thought I knew, my love, my friend.

Am I me, or am I you
When I take a look to see.
It seems that mirror is broken too
A crack of nothing tearing me.
