Finally happy.
Every reflection of my smile is a well-disguised scream. Behind the curve of my lips, pain sits quietly like a ghost wearing perfume. The mirror doesn’t blink. It listens. It hears the trapdoor voices in my skull, the ones whispering, “you’re fine” while dragging chains across my thoughts. I stand there, watching myself pretend to be human and it feels rehearsed. Each day a new mask, each night another fracture. Somewhere between my grin and my guilt, a version of me keeps dying softly, begging for silence that never comes. And the mirror, cold and cruel, just keeps showing me how well I’ve learned to lie. To

The mirror knows
His eyes, his lips. His hair, his kiss. Hand in hand, Soul around heart. How in the hell, did this all start? Perhaps a single look, one word spoke. Darling, our love has been awoke. His soul, his laugh. A word, his touch. Baby, one glance, and I'll completely fall apart. A kiss in the dark, Hands through his perfect hair. Does he have any idea how hard it is to not let him see me stare? Two hearts, both know, that with time, their love grows. Who knows were this will lead them. Just a stupid girl, dumb and in love. Just a perfect boy, do you think he knows? All she is, in her twisted, crazy, wild mind, is thoughts of Him.

Him
Despite efforts to try to erase you from my mind i still catch myself wondering how your day is going who you talked to, whatever drama it is you have now is this what love is? if so i have it for the wrong soul if i can convince myself you never had a second thought about me maybe i can get over this mountain of memories

Years and years ago she was all shattered, Her heart was broken into pieces, Each piece was a reminder related to her past. But She survived, she pretended and she moved on. Deep down inside her, each piece ached, Deep down her wounds were not healing, Every scar was telling a new story, Every story was making her weak, But She survived, she pretended and she moved on. Deep down she was crying, Screaming from the pain of never healing wounds, She was trying to bring the broken parts back again, but scars never disappeared. But She survived, she pretended and she moved on. Every story inside her was leaving traces in her innocent soul, Prints which will always make her cry from regret, Prints which will then be a reminder of her past, Prints which will hold her innocent soul and never leave. But She survived, she pretended and she moved on.

She survived
Have you realized How I always stop What im doing Just to talk to you? I'd always free my time Just to spend it with you Have you ever felt Like you're the last person I want to talk to? Like I have felt before Sometimes because of you Have you ever waited For something that Will never come but You still wait anyway Even if it takes days years even Have you felt This insanity im feeling Thinking about you Every single day When I only cross your mind Some days. Have you ever thought About what im feeling All this time? Have you ever questioned love? If this is what it's really like Because im definitely starting to.

Have you?
Im far from home It's been months Since I've been alone Since I've been On my own Im at this place Supposedly a new start Yet couldn't figure it out How to move forward I've lost control Long ago I have been stuck here For so long I wasnt even trying At all Im far from home A new place to start Yet I've brought with me The feeling Where you left me Im still at this place All along
