Shattered
I stare at her
 She stares back at me
 She looks so hurt
 So broken
 Her eyes are full of tears
 I know she's afraid of me
 I can feel her fear as if it was
 My own skin and bones
 
 She's such a faker
 A liar
 A hider
 A crier
 A dier
 
 It makes me so mad
 That she thinks she can just
 Build all these walls around her
 And expect someone
 Anyone
 To break them down
 She can't just run
 Or hide
 From her life
 From her feelings
 From her memories
 
 She whimpers
 Begging me
 Not to make her remember
 Her haunting past
 Her sickening present
 Her dreaded future
 She can't face the facts
 She's too weak
 For a split second
 I feel sorry for her
 I want to help her
 
 She's still staring at me
 She has pleading, sunken eyes
 Wrists scarred at her own expense
 Pale and sickly skin
 Arms so skinny they could snap
 Horrible, malicious thoughts
 Hair a tangled, careless mess
 To hide her face and its 
 Pained expression
 Her faded lips are sealed
 She can't speak
 I don't even remember her voice
 She's everything I promised myself
 I never would be
 
 She's a traitor
 She betrayed me
 With her fragile, little whispers
 Swore she would take care of me
 Promised to never let me go
 
 She cackles at my desperation
 I laugh back at her weakness
 We glare at each other for a moment
 I feel hatred boiling up inside of me
 I hate her
 I HATE her
 
 I lunge forward
 And hit her 
 As hard as I can
 Smiling 
 And eager for her hurt expression
 I want to hear her scream 
 I want to see her cry
 I want to smell her blood
 But as I hit her
 She's not the one to bleed
 I am
 Shards of glass fall on me
 They slice my fingers
 And cut my face
 
 And that's when i realize
 She was my reflection
 She mirrored my own
 Depression
 Pain
 Malice
 And pathetic-ness
 
 She is really me
 And now we both lay 
 In the remnants of broken glass
 Broken dreams
 I begin to cry
 The mirror,  my reflection, and I
 Are lifeless and destroyed
 We are all broken 
 Shattered
