Insanity - Love Ceases
Cracked mirror, looking in with strange, wild eyes
Looking back are tender but deranged sighs
Openness holds no bars as pain sets in
Focused on the mirror’s opposing sin
Before me is a demented figure
Posing as what I’ll be in the future
I shake, as depression comes to the front
I try to touch my soul but only grunt
I falter, my mind shakes within its ground
Don’t know the shimmering lights that’s around
My image reels back as if in terror
My blank stare hits home, I stare in horror
Mirror shatters to thousands of pieces
Just now do I hold myself, love ceases
