Broken Mirror A Descort in Quintet Forms
I
fear you.
Who are you?
Why are you here?
I'm watching this stranger in my mirror
asking me all these strange questions, but, I
only listen
I do not
answer
back.
---oo0oo----
I look
in the mirror.
The mirror watches me back.
I'm all alone in such a crowd.
A mirror painted black.
---oo0oo----
The mirror's broken.
Jagged pieces on the floor.
As I pick them up
my hand is cut, sadly this
has reminded me of you.
---oo0oo----
I
never want
to see you again.
That's why I broke the mirror.
I
hate
all the pain you put me through.
You're the mirror that
I broke in
half.
---oo0oo----
I'm cut
by sharp edges
but it hurts worse inside.
This broken mirror reminds me
of you.
---oo0oo----
This broken mirror on the floor
can not be mended anymore.
So like those promises that fade
my heart has now become like jade.
I'm bored by love forevermore.
---oo0oo----
