You are broken
I can see it my dear
I'm just a presence of a ghost
in the mirror
while the world
dies in silence
while my trust lives in fear
the only way I can smile too
is when these cuts
raise up and bleed across
ear to ear.
We aren't so different
if darkness defines
I want to touch your hand
and call you mine
in my place there is a drawn line
a line that keeps this darkness at bay
leave me here
leave me be
my only wish for you is to look up
and see the sun reflect off the sea
I see no difference between you and me
the only difference is these cracks and bends
that twist and bind
spirals like dead tree branches
in my ailing mind.
Continue on dear
this isn't a place you want to see.
where my heart used to lay
isn't the place you want to be.
I believe one day you'll just leave me behind
and I'll be here
a ghost in the mirror.
