Even with my eyes closed it burns through
Even when I scream I don't want to
It just looks at me and asks "what are you?"
I would like to say "I'm me"
But I don't know what that means
And it knows and still it waits, patiently
Spread thin
No substance
I long
For something
To bind
These fragments
Again
How far can I stretch myself
Will I get too tight and snap
Or will I just fade away
Quietly
Spread thin
No substance
I long
For something
To bind
These fragments
Again
Hold tight
To being
I lie
Pretending
I know
The ending
One day I'll have had enough
Maybe it will be today
Then I'll break the mirror and say
It's ok
