Mirror

by Atalanta

I don't understand. Was I born to be a mirror? To let the world see themselves through the shards of my broken heart? To break into smaller and smaller pieces, cutting into the fingers of anyone who tries to help. I am mirror, hurting and hurting in a endless pool of sharp edges. I tried to keep my head high, Looking at the clouds and shaping them into dreams. One was a smile, the other was love. Yet they left me to join the sun. I was only there to reflect its rays, I am only here to reflect smiles and love in monotone eyes of glass. Vanity can't light up the dark without destroying the light in someone else. Take away my light, will you? Just drown me in your continuum of black holes. There are four babies born every second. Two leave. Two live. One of them is a mirror to reflect the other. The other shines in full glory around a sea of blue. I was born a fucking mirror. A piece of junk thrown at the end of a driveway when it broke. I am a mirror sitting at the end of the curb, awaiting for the muffled roars of a garbage truck. I am a broken mess that weeps in the blood of your polished red pumps. in the rust of your pre-made punk earrings. in the tears of your pearl necklaces. Oh mister, oh miss, Can you see yourself in me? Please, don't throw me away. I'm broken, I know, but I can fix myself. Please mister. Please miss. Don't leave me. Make me feel special. Make me feel me. Mister? Miss? Didn't you hear that? No. Please. Don't throw me away. Give me a chance. My shards could serve for something. Anything. Please. Please. I know I'm a mirror. But I bleed too.
