Whilst she stares with empty gaze
At crumbling ceiling glaze
Dead orbs are dancing in delight
For she found one tonight.
A shard, a single solitary tear
of her previous living affair.
Do you see, reflected in that glass,
the men, the lights, the flashy cars.
Life was never so rich, yet worthless;
greed gave birth to cruellest vermin...
Watch how she clings to it laughing
see the joy, the want for dancing.
One more piece to her reflection
and one for the map of her recollection
But also for the path to her soul
For the key is splintered and must be made whole!
You must watch, and contemplate
how she claws back the glass with smiling hate,
and how builds her wrecks again;
raising her demons to question them.
Lay your eyes on this consumer of pain
watch each minute drive her insane.
I pity the day she fixes the mirror...
for what a monster she'll see, that is none but her.
