what have i done



Mirror mirror parallell sides
Your silence so deafening our ears dig into our heads to escape the sound, to hide
Witness to all flaws
Watch me crumble within these walls
Im pretty sure youve seen it before

Mirror mirror have you no shame
Youve compelled me to write this song
The one i keep singing all over again
The one with no lyrics ,our favourie tune
The one we listen to during this game only to find out it brings me back to you
 
Mirror mirror looking me in eye
Living with feelings undefined
The stare off will continue in the light or the dark
Watch me fight my faith with 2 wolves ripping it a part
 Blood was shed
In a calming shade of red
A colour so tame
 it blinded my vision so that i may never be the same

Mirror mirror off the wall
Sinking into my skin breaking my fall
Catching me , making me survive
You could have saved my life
I am withered away by betrayal
Youve broken my heart
Pieces of you pierced inside me
Forcing us apart

Mirror mirror , its just you and i
Feeling the same feelings no reason to disguise
We'll float in line with these walls
Eyes heavy ,sunken in
The sight only you adore

About this poem

Becoming your own enemy, self distruction then flows through your veins but the fight continues between what you want to be vs what you're becoming , the war drives you to the the type of insanity that you soon give into the feeling and become a darker version of yourself , possessing no light within you or your soul to the point that you're one with the dark and the sadness takes full control.
