Mirrors
Why do I appear shattered
Why am I broken
Why am I viewing myself
In a thousand pieces
It ripped through the veins
Poured from the body
Draining me of purity
Bruising my integrity
Stealing my dignity
I've become numb to love
From another
Obsession so deep
I can't stand too suffer
To look into this mirror
And see I have become u
Identity shifts
Breaking rifts
Of floating ships
That could sink
Hitting ice tips
Watching my lips
Silence
Before you fall
How do I see myself
Watch you
Love him
The same way
You watched me
Give him
Something
I wasn't given by you
And now he hangs with his friend
Then he becomes him
N you become me
How damaging
To see you hurt
But to move with your heart
Yet love with your eye
The man I've become
To see all the things
I've overcome
Where I flipped "m"
To become we
Numb
To your love
You see we
Took time
To build up my happy
No need to wreck it
My home has been built
With self love
And perseverance
Then u become us
Where we
Have become the community
Searching for something to lust
Because one of us
Didn't seem to fond of you
I didn't want you
To leave
We didn't want you to seem
Lost with us in between you and me
But the connection was lost
When we became three
Stare!
At yourself!
This is the damage you caused
Look at the disappointment
Resting on your face
Glare!
At the hatred
You created
When you dated
Us then faded
From us
To you
Flare!
Up in anger
What you have done
To wager
Our heart
For ur hanger
Hanging me up
To play a player
Who played you
For me
And now us
have become we
And you have become
community property
Look in that mirror
Broken to see
Yourself glaring back at me
