The Scarred Mirror

I’m a fallen mirror.

Shattered.

Broken.

Unfixable.

 

You could glue me back together.

If you wanted to.

But I know that you won’t.

 

Even if you did, I would still have cracks,

Scars.

 

Your words were knives, sinking into

My back, my heart, my wrists.

 

You’re a vulture,

Preying on my soul

Until I’m only a

Scarred reflection

Of who I once was.
