We are on the outside, peering in They've let the two-way glamour of their muses let us see The women, different faces different names, but all the same She is the Hurt and Angry She is the Left Behind He's the one obsessed with finding ways to let us know that the stones they throw are not for us, but to keep them safe, alive When the glass is finally shattered He leaves Her among the pieces and runs from skewed reflections of his past and we all aren't shocked to see He had already broken every mirror in his mind

The Many Bearers of Mrs. X
We are on the outside, peering in They've let the two-way glamour of their muses let us see The women, different faces different names, but all the same She is the Hurt and Angry She is the Left Behind He's the one obsessed with finding ways to let us know that the stones they throw are not for us, but to keep them safe, alive When the glass is finally shattered He leaves Her among the pieces and runs from skewed reflections of his past and we all aren't shocked to see He had already broken every mirror in his mind
