Shattered Glass

My mom is losing her mind And all I can do is stare At empty reflections in glass bottles Telling me what’s inside My dad is dead But empty bottles Reflect the life I’d like to lead So they win my gaze instead Broken bottles shattered glass Reflect the pain that now is past I stare into space to forget But memories stick inside my head Shattered memories of a broken past Broken bottles broken glass I thought of you And that was all I could seem to do When all I could see were the empty reflections of me The mirror lies A person despise But you can see through the glass Just like people Reflections are empty Like all their blank stares When caught unawares Unpredictable insanity Calamity all’s lost
