Pieces of Your Reflection

One word, one question: why?

Could care less what others do

I thought with these days of apart, you’d be just fine

It’s what you thought too

 

You’re a mess and I can’t help it

Let me know how you’re doing

But I won’t be here for long, won’t wait

Keep going and I’ll be leaving

 

All the things you’ve said to me

Have become shattered pieces

Of the glass bottles you’ve broken

Empty, drained and mistaken

 

The anger’s fading

The questions gaining

But you went through with it

Drank the poison and waves of guilt

 

Your fading memory

Keeps me from your hollow eyes

Now shaking and deceived

Your expressionless face won’t give way to what’s on your mind

 

You need me more than expected

I’m afraid you’ve taken me by surprise

It seems I’m not the only one who’s vulnerable

You’re becoming impossible to find

 

In this sea of actions

That belongs to none other than a stranger

And I need for you to come back

Find your reflection among the pieces and remember who you are

 

I need you to put these promises back together

Because I always thought you were stronger

But your signs of weakness ease through the cracks

As they tear at any thought of getting back

 

You knew I was unprepared

From the way your voice fights the echoes, I know you’re scared

But my dear, things have changed

I won’t be alone as long as you stay.
