I broke the sugarglass
the substance you pulled
from your heartstrings.
As I saw my reflection in it
I realized it wasn't even real.
The sweet stick of the candy lick
was enough to get me hooked,
but now that I see my tears
in the glassy surface,
the cracks showing their true meaning
I know the red was just a weapon
to entice me into your game,
made me play until I lost.

So yeah
I broke the sugarglass
that fake love mask
you tricked me into adoring.
