Author's Note: Let's explore the boundaries of Ryou's shattered self as he gazes into the window of his soul, daring himself to comprehend the trauma delivered through his reflection…
Reflection
Deafening sorrow
Sub-zero blindness
Hope for tomorrow
In a bloody mess
Killing me softly
Whispering my song
Vanquish misery
For what I've done wrong
Bright beautiful blade
Soul mate I'll receive
Luscious love we've made
No more will I grieve
Heavy hearted
Slack depression
Faith departed
Soul regression
Violent while vacant
Nothing remaining
No time to recant
I've been restraining
These cold-weathered chants
Frightful frozen fears
Tears' troubled trances
Terror that's near here
Timely sensations
Which withered away
Endless elation
Raw flesh I will flay
Risky delusion
Soul blankly gazing
Love my conclusion
Skin sword is grazing
Snapshots, memories
Flash inside my mind
Shards of glass debris
Leave it all behind
Fragile, delicate
Defense intricate
Trapped, an ancient maze
Captive by fire's blaze
Do not let me fall
Smacking the concrete
Breaking down that wall
Steady on my feet
Again I will strike
Once again on me
Pain I truly like
Hurt shall set me free
Looking up I see
Face in the mirror
Oh, gods, please help me
So inferior
Clasping blood-soaked knife
Shivering madness
Yearning for a life
Devoid of sadness
No, do not stop there
Just end it all now
I never did care
That's what I'll allow
There's my reflection…
Please come and help me…
Cure this infection
Anyone save me
Do not make me see
My own reflection
Fly down, shelter me
There's no redemption
Whatever you do
Don't let me get me
You I'll hold on to
Save myself from me
Please save myself from me…
save myself from my own reflection…
