Disclaimer: This is my own work.. Don't steal it. -_- Thanks.

I stare at my shattered mirror,

Wondering who is looking back upon me.

This face is not my own..

I hardly recognize it.

Who is this stranger?

She has my eyes,

My nose,

My face.

But she's not me..

She's happy,

Smiling.

Her ocean blue orbs are shining,

The way mine used to..

When I had him.

But now that he's gone,

I'm back to what I truly am.

A monster.

Nothingness.

My eyes don't shine..

They have lines underneath, proving that I've lost the sleep I convinced everyone I had gotten..

My smile is just barely there,

Just barely holding on.

My laugh is fake.

My feelings are put on.

I say I don't care,

But really,

I do.

This piece of glass between my forefinger and thumb..

Oh, the fun I could have with it..

It slices,

Just barely.

It's a tease..

Scarlet starts to form,

Rising slowly to meet its destination.

My eyes close,

I inhale deeply through my nose.

I needed this..

My escape from reality.

My sanctuary from this nightmare I call life.

My safe haven, where no one can touch me,

Where no one can hurt me.

Finally…

A place where I can avoid everyone,

A place where the only one that can hurt me,

Is me.

That's the way it's supposed to be.

I can't get hurt, if I don't let anyone in.

I can't get too attached, if I don't care.

I cant fall in love, if I don't let anyone try to make me fall for them.

The less I care, the less I get hurt.

The less I try, the less I get.

The more I think about it, the more I realize that I started to love you..

Shattered mirror..

Shattered mirror..

The mirror isn't the only thing that's shattered..

I am, too.
