AN/ Um well, wow. This is really dark, I mean really dark and nothing like my usual stuff so if you came from my profile you might wanna turn back now. I have no idea how this got into my head but I had to write this. These are not my personal feelings on the subject. You've been warned.

Fractured Mirror (on the wall)

.

Tears fall down your silent face

Carving valleys in your skin

Thoughts slow down to keep apace

Fragile body far too thin

.

Scars mark skin like bold tattoos

As hitching gasps echo loud

Your clothes smell like his favourite booze

Your high held shoulders crouched and bowed

.

The bruises blossom like a brand

You curl yourself around your knees

Bones too broken to just stand

Heart too shattered in a freeze

.

Still you whisper not a word

You'll carry his secrets to your grave

Right and wrong the boundaries blurred

There's nothing left of you to save

.

So put that pretty smile back on your face

Put that makeup on your skin

Leave nothing for those cops to trace

You'll go back now and let him win

.

You will I know, I know you will

This fractured mirror shows you still…

.

Smile now mirror, No one can know
