shattered

mirror mirror on the wall

who shattered you
who shattered me

the pieces fall where they may
and i stay

stay and look away
ceasing to feel
ceasing to cry
i dry my eyes
close my mouth
i desist

mirror mirror on the wall

who looks into you
who looks into me

me
myself
and i

hauntingly sad
forever broken
my melody
cannot be heard

mirror mirror on the wall

bits of you
bits of me

glued together
cracked
forever a broken image
of what once was

a constant reminder
of what could have been

mirror mirror on the wall

who sees you
who sees me

no one

for i hide
afraid
of consequences
unseen
of words
unsought
of despise
undeserved

mirror mirror on the wall

who shattered you
who shattered me

the pieces fall where they may
and i stay
