shattered

Love is like a mirror it reflects truth and it hides nothing you find yourself in it But after awhile, you grow tired of the same old reflection, So you break it, shatter it, hoping its for the best Soon you realize compared to life without it, you long for it again, to see that reflection, where everything made sense So you try to piece it back together, With each piece of glass it feels more and more like home, yet the cracks are still there. It seems slightly different, though you press on, hoping for the best. In return all you get are cuts and scars, and nothing you do seems to help Finally, you realize it's not even worth it The pain of the cuts are not worth the comfort of the reflection you used to know. You have no other choice than to give up and to walk away Now you wish you could just go back in time and stop yourself before you tried to fix things. Tell yourself to just leave it there shattered, Because the damage you were left with is much worse than the damage you initially caused.
