Fractured - - - Inspired by "Shards" by mysteriouslady
I look into your mirror
Is the mirror fractured
Is my reflection fractured
Or is it just me
Do I seem fractured
Do I feel fractured
Or is it the drugs talking
Is the fracture real
Can it be touched
Or is it a mirage
A fig box of my imagination
Can others see the fracture
Can others feel the fracture
Or don’t they give a shit
It’s not their fracture
What does the fracture say about me
How does the fracture feel to me
Am I just a broken man
A broken man in the mirror
They say a mirror never lies
It always tells the truth
My mirror tells lies
It tells me I am broken
It tells me I am worthless
It tells me I am useless
The fracture cuts me in half
The fracture splices my self image
The fracture splits my personalities
I have split, spliced
And cut you in half
Now, you too are fractured
I didn’t know there’d be so much blood
I look in the mirror now
I don’t feel the fracture
I don’t see the fracture
I am not constantly reminded
Because you are dead
And you are fractured
And I am happy
For now
