Cracks In the Facade

`

Weathered this ancient brick of crimson stare
Lines like abstract graffiti
Painted on emotions

Openings glazed over in tempered glass
Curtains frayed in disbelief
Aging sashes crossing

Deeply formed jagged cracks in the facade
Curves drag down distorted flesh
The mirror does not lie
