It was not me
who you loved.
It was not me who you saw,
but rather the mirror you put before me.
It was not my voice you heard,
but rather your own echo.
The mirror you held between us was fragile.
Slowly it began to crack.
Each time I held you closer,
the mirror began to disintegrate.
The more the mirror began to break,
The more you saw me.
But you cannot stand to not stare
at your own reflection.
As the mirror shattered,
so did my heart.
You picked up the chards and threw them to my skin.
For you do not see the blood coursing through my veins,
but rather the lack of yourself.
For it was not me who you loved,
but rather your
mirror.
