Mirrors and Rivers

                                    
                                     
I can tell it from your eyes; your mouths only speak of empty promises and hollow truths                                                      
Our future seems so bleak and these vultures just keep preying on the weak                                                      
This ship is full of holes                          
We are so blind to everything we need                        
                               
I'm falling apart, it's nothing new                                            
The only difference from before is that                                            
I'm falling apart faster than I can pick up the pieces          
Falling apart faster than I can pick up the pieces                                         
                   
Do we even know what we're running from?                            
                               
The smell of withering hearts forever lingers in the air                                                      
Alone again; cold and desolate; crumbled down on the ground                                                      
Just break my bones and tell me you're sorry                                                        
I know those endings makes you grin, you parasite                                              
                      
I need to detach myself from the world; 'cause I know that:                    
I am what's tearing me apart - I've let myself become like this                    
                                                     
Suffering became the truth                                                      
With eyes closed we all walk along                        
Knowing that at any moment we might fall                  
             
I don't have to say it twice:              
The world is not what it seems               
What will you do when               
Everything you love descends like a leaf from a tree?              
                     
It feels as if light was not meant to reach this blackened heart                            
                 
Light was not meant to reach this blackened heart                               
I don't deserve, I don't deserve anything                                  
Light was not meant to reach this blackened heart                                                      
Here I am, on my knees                                                 
                                 
We see ourselves                                  
In the mirrors, in your eyes                                  
We always drown                                  
In the rivers, of your lies                                     
                                                       
-                                                      
                                                       
What do you think of this? This poem is actually a song, but I really want some feedback, so feel free to comment! :)
