Our last words



The girl in the mirror stares back at me her eyes empty, scratches on her wrist all made carelessly.

The girl in the mirror, I don't like her hair it's not blonde, her eyes aren't blue, she isn't perfectly skinny, her hips aren't curvy, her eyelashes aren't long, she's not "Perfect."

Honestly girl in the mirror this may be hard to hear but "I hate you I really do." I hate your laugh your body and your clothes, I hate the fact that you follow me wherever I go.

Girl in the mirror why can't you just go away if I could I'd throw you away.
The blood from the gashes on her wrist flows down.

The girl in the mirror doesn't want this, As for me this is perfect bliss
A mistake was corrected, Erased, and no longer exists...
Our vision starts to fade, memories flash, we stand there and stare.

I look to the girl and tell her "you're me and I'm you, only one not two, it's true." I look at her and say " I'm sorry I can never love you but one day I'll find a way to learn to."
See you for the last time this is my final goodbye

As of now, I am no longer afraid to die...
